Oh ya, definitely don't ride without the helmet and jacket. I have gotten so used ot having my jacket on that if I don't, I feel almost naked. The last time I rode in my winter jacket I just had a t-shirt on so it was really baggy. I fealt like I needed a seatbelt or something, it was wierd. So I had to go pick up a new jacket that fits tighter for nice days.

also ive been doing alot of searching but didnt get a real answer. ITs got 4000 miles. What octane gas should i be putting in. I know manual says 87. I know alot of people sware by premium. Whats the right answer. I know how octane works so please dont explain what the octane means. I just tohught the higher the compression the higher octane and these bikes have like 12:1

Nice looking ride. I ride with the highest octane I can get. 93. Don't forget about getting some good riding gloves too. And don't be a squid and ride with sandles. Get some good riding boots to protect your feet. You don't plan for an accident you can only prepare for it.

Wow that sounds just like me. I bought an 02 f4i just recently... fairings all gone and had issues with brakes and radiator which have been fixed by me. Cost me $2700 though.
