Default F4I report

Well yesterday was the first day since I have had this bike (3-4weeks) that I was truly able to get it out and stretch its legs. I have to say I was pleasantly pleased. Put about 260 miles on it wrapping up the day with some GOOD twisities. The bike handled great and wasnt as heavy in the curves as I thought it might be. Triple switchbacks with relative ease and smoothness! I did however scrape a peg going into a righthander and I wasnt even trying to get knee down on that one. Scared the crap out of me when I heard something other than my sliders surfing asphalt! First instinct was to grab the break but resisted that and rode it out. All in all I am very pleased with the bike. I feel that I might want to tinker with the suspension some, seems a little stiff at this point, Im also fairly sure I need to adjust the CCT but other than that I like it. May drop -1 on the front sprocket. I dont think the full 520 conversion is a good idea at this point as I do ride it to work as often as possible and its 38 miles one way with plenty of highway. I would like it for the GAP and mountain roads but think Ill just go -1 for now.

I love the F4I! Glad I made the purchase

are the peg feelers still on your bike?if so...toss them!
looks like you're getting fast on the f4i...your next upgrades recommended are....rearsets (or rearset adaptors) and suspension!
