I don't want to clutter the group buy tread with this,for all you folks signing up for suspension up grades I can tell after six weeks I still think it's the best thing I've ever done to this bike. However there must be a connection between the suspension and the throttle that forces the throttle to stay open wider and longer, as gas milage has dropped from the mid 40's to the low 40's. I do think it is a fair trade off as this bike is now on rails. :yahoo:

I got the same impression as you. It mostly has to do with the valving in the front forks. I am pretty sure the custom valving is linked to the fuel injectors so the harder you push it in the corners the more fuel is delivered to create faster speeds and more power.

I think that's how it goes............yeah pretty sure.

 
Thanks for the warning. I'm looking forward to having this problem. :lol:

I dropped the feejer off at GP yesterday, they're working on it next week. I should have it back just in time to attend the Pink's RTE that's coming up.
