Mods in the way future if i keep the bike:

-ohlins shock although the showa works just fine for my weight(165lbs)
-man cam chain tensioner(im way too scared to take out the engine and not be able to put it back)
-racetech forks(maybe)


Anyways about me:
I am currently a part time college student, even though i don't know what field i want to go in. Also work full time as a pharmacy technician for kaiser permanente neuro center in rwc. I just love to ride, and wanted a motorcycle ever since i was 16 but got a car instead , but 8 months ago i got a motorcycle with some of my savings! It was well worth it...since then I only got into 1 lowside which was due to wet road(water=enemy). Since then i have decided to hold back on the rough riding, but the f4i handles perfectly most of the times!


Let me know if you have any comments and/or suggestions on improving the handling/performance sector of the bike. Well there isn't a real substitute in handling/performance for the rider, and I am very well aware of that. I would love some tips on handling through curves and tight corners on the street/track.

Thank you for reading my "essay" lol.

 

That was good hahaha College sucks, Im a student as well and dont really know what i plan to do either! As far as handling I suggest taking a MSF course if its available to you. I know some places offer an experienced rider courses you can also take. As for handling Best advice I can give you is dont get too cocky and look into the turn not straight ahead! Post some Pics of the Bike!!! I have an 02 F4i they are excellent machines! Welcome to the Forums TONS of info for you here.
