Just started basic prep for a few track days before a full race prep when parts become available.
Some interesting differences between the old model, the radiator hoses are now plastic, not sure if this is an attempt to reduce heat but looks cheap. The triple clamps are really nice and look like something from motocorse! If you have the base model the ohlins from the previous V4R fit straight in, and the same goes for the front wheel, direct swap from previous model. Don't like the new calipers much harder to quickly change pads and they now have a retaining pin. I also noticed when running the bike on the dyno the oil level comes back to normal after less than 10 min where the previous one took many hours. Comes STD with a 520 chain too i like that.
Fuel line is slightly better but still not great.
