Don't worry guys..., she's fine.
I washed her this afternoon...

This might be the first time I've seen one with the passenger pegs on. Not bad.

I was told that the full system will not allow for the passenger pegs as the shroud covers one of the areas where the bolts go in.

Honestly, they're not that bad...they kinda fit with the rest of the bike.
Italian design...!

Don't know, dealer didn't tell...I don't have the full line.
But I can tell you, fit is pretty tight...!
10mm more pipe, make 20 at the bent...I doubt it could fit between the 2 pegs anyway...

Nice bike peterpan.

I didn't fit my rear pegs as I thought they would look ugly, but to be honest I didn't notice them in peterpan's pictures. I had to go back and take a second look after your post. Might fit them and see what they look like. Will come in handy for terrifiying passengers

I'm also undecided about the aero fairing extensions.

They come standard (uninstalled) with the S and the TRIs.
I'm pretty happy my dealer took the decision not to install them.
I don't like the front of the bike when they are installed.
Moreover, the dealer told me it would scratch the front cowl if installed.
Which I also read somewhere on this forum.
He recommended 3M protective film if I ever wanted to have them fitted.

Ps: had to fit the pass. pegs, just in case I meet a superchick wanting to ride behind me...!

now honestly, are you guys doing a strict break in by the book, mild/ occasional hard or HARD run in??

I think I'm going to run her in HARD...depending on my smoke situation when I pick her up.

HARD - No redlining though - I'll probably keep it below 8000 - as much as possible

PeterPan · May 6, 2012

I'm for the mild/occasional hard process...!
Touched a few time 7500 rpm...,
Like stephenson..., I'm trying to keep it below 8000 rpm for the first 600 miles...

But I'm more obsessed by running it through all the rpm range...

Yeah, I'll see how it feels but if getting bored bellow 7500 I think I'll push it lol (never red line tho...maybe get the 1st set of rev lights going haha)

Was this the Pani release bike for the dealership or they're finally getting customer stock inventory? Were there other S models delivered to customers?

Yes, the was the dealer release bike. I was 2nd in line but the other guy was out of town for awhile and released it to me. The had a tricolore there on Sat. When I picked it up, but not sure when next batch will be in.

touched 8k but not rode it hard yet but will do i always push them and never had any bother on run in before

Picked up my nonABS S on Saturday. The bike didn't smoke heavily when I picked it up, nor any other time i've started it. It has about 100 miles right now. There has been some light smoking, more than most bikes, but not the fully engulfed style like some bikes have been.

There was also a Tri with full Termis being delivered and that bike was the same as mine...not big smoke, but a little. What a sound though...at idle not much louder than stock, but what a roar when the bike was under way!

PaddockStand · May 7, 2012

My S+ABS had all but given up smoking (500 miles or so) and then all of a sudden clouds of smoke twice when I started it yesterday???
