already got tons of questions and searching the forums right now!

first on the list is to figure out how to get under the seat so I can get the owners manual and read it.

Im a big dude so think I need to get new springs up front. Need to find out how hard this is going to be.........

Got the seat up. The owners manual was under it. Made it kind of hard to read how to open it LOL

Adjusted the suspension some. It does not dive as much. still want stiffer springs soon.

damn, this bike is fun to ride.

last bike was a first gen SV650.

add 20cc of fluid to each shock - will stiffen it a bit.
