If you only do ONE thing, it has to be tires (assuming your original tires were as bad as mine always seem to be). Grippy tires transform any bike, both in handling and braking. I have felt that difference many times, and if you do the research to put really grippy tires on, the difference is dramatic and confidence inspiring.

i'm big on the suspension

it may have to do with the fact that i am lucky enough to have a member/associate of GP Suspension at every track day here locally

you can have all the blinged out go fast look at me parts on your bike....but a bike that handles like crap...well....it handles like crap



dont get me wrong...my track bike/'s have a lot of the extra go fast look at me stuff on it....but my first step to setting up a bike is the suspension

yeah..i could'nt imagine having to try and figure out set up on my own


not trying to rub it in....but i cant tell you how nice it is to come in from a session or practice and roll right up to a gp suspension trailer and get your stuff dialed in
