Got service done yesterday at 920 miles, did about 250 with a total of 1100+ miles now.
Appreciated my tech allowing me to watch him and ask any ?s durring the service, considering they squeezed me in the schedule late in the day.
Haven't had a hard start since Sat and Ev. valve still disconnected...runs like a champ in all conditions.
I've gotten used to all the controls and no longer double press to cancle turn sig...still need to adjust my rear break and shifter, but waiting til my reverse shifter comes in (been too busy riding
)
I too was considering wrapping my headers and still am, though I've realized that the pipe under the seat is maybe ONLY responsible for about 20% of heat we feel. Most of it is definately from radiator blow back and some from the subframe mount point.
Tires are amazing as always and will stick with these specifically...not sure is the SPs that came on my 1198 have the same exact blend (not much different if at all)
I've decided I will definately +1 on the rear sprocket, I need more umph low down and off the line.
Riding modes are very convenient (dash in night mode all the time), I ride in Sport mode (still set to 195 Low) most times unless im out playing. Race mode (set on 195 Hi of course) Is very noticably different and i like that. I find it difficult to ride it HARD sometimes tho, I mean red line shifting...its hard to hang on and tank grips wont helf me because my knees/inner thighs aren't even where they grips would be lol. I need adjustable rear sets to aid this, I like my further back and even higher. and a racing windsheild might be on the list now
Love my Pani !!
pics bellow are of service job, riding around town and a bike show this past weekend where my dealer brought out some of their toys...enjoy
