Default New 954 1st Ride Update

So last year i got hit by a Drunk driver on my f4
it was a clean fast bike i loved it. i got banged up
but was lucky.SO i bought my new 02 954rr with 4300miles
ALL STOCK, i have to say i like the no carb thing, i love the power OMFG
i didnt get it passed 4500rpm, it was my first ride after the accident and it was good, this thing has so much power i cant wait for new tires and to get on it. I also like the stock muffler pretty quiet.
ONLY THING BAD is the seat, im a pretty big guy and i like keeping my body all the way up on the seat and my *** kinda slides back but i guess i gatta get used to it....

Let me start by saying sorry to hear about your accident but glad to hear that you are ok and still riding. I just got my wife an F4 and she loves it. She is taking her motorcycle class this weekend. Also congrats on your 954. It is a good and fast bike. I have one the same year and I am loving it. I also feel your pain about the carbs. When I got her bike, it sat for 6 months and wasn't running. I had no experience in taking carbs off and cleaning them, but I learned on my own and had to take them off 4 times to clean and get the bike running. Runs very well now. Well you take care of you and your new toy.
