Unusual tires. Have you ridden it yet? I love mine. Recommend a Rottweiler airbox set up, good for about another 10 hp. I shit you not.
Tires are Shinko 705's 120/70 170/60
They're cheap, and I want to be able to take a few fire access roads up in the AZ mountains. They're not too bad on the asphalt. 80/20 tire, so a little vibration but not bad at all. Went on my first ride yesterday. A little head shake at triple digits. Much like the Aprilia Dorsoduro I had. Solved by leaning forward and tucking in a bit. Suspension is currently set to the specs in the owner's manual. Proper sag will be set shortly (garage day planned). Cornering is still pretty good. Geared it at 16/41 (+3 rear). It's a real hooligan!
Took the snorkel out of the airbox (along with the acorns, fur, and mouse), and fit a K&N filter. It's got a FMF exhaust and Rott O2 plug. Gonna leave it as is... for now.
For real speed... I've got the Repsol SP.
