my sister has an 04 f4i that is bone stock. its her 1st bike and she really doesnt know much about them. she hasnt ridden it in a while and because of her schedule she doesnt have much time. so she asks me to take her bike out and ride it (after i bitcht her for letting the bike sit). so i take her out and ride it. it feels horrible and slow, but i chalk it up to the fact that iride a fairly well modded and set up 07 6oorr. so i go to throw her through a corner it scares the **** out of me. rear end is squirrelly as hell and sliding all over. the front end is bouncing all about. so i pull into the next gas station and check the tire pressures first thing. HOLY ****!! the front tire is at 53 lbs and the rear is at 18. no fuggin wonder. so i ride her home, let the tires cool down, and adjust the pressures. 36 up front and 42 rear on the dunlop 208s. then i set the suspension up according to sport riders suggested settings and then adjusted them to fit her from there. then i went riding again. a million times better but it doesnt mke up for the fact that the thing is rediculously slow. so do you guys suggeststarting out the same as i did? with a pipeand power commander. my sis even griped slightly about the slow accelleration. sosuggested a 1 tooth down front sprocket.


so now that my novel is complete send up your suggestions.

 

well just to give a comparison. her f4i is bone stock. my rr has a 2 bros pipe, pc3 w/custom map, carbon fiber front fender hugger chain guard heel guards mid pipe shield, and carrozzerria light wieght wheels. i had it dyno'd at 112.3 at the rear wheel. and wieghed it at a wiegh station at 387 full of fuel. so there is a huge difference between the bikes. the bike only sat for about 3 weeks with 93 octain so the gas shouldnt be bad. i even ran the tank empty and refilled it with 93.
