Proper spring rate, fresh oil, emulators. You can tune your preload with spacers or removing preload.
I first did a correct spring and incorrect fork oil and was a bit disappointed. Eventually did the emulator thing and lightened(?) up the fork oil, played with preload a bit. Waaaay better. I would say that rebound damping could be tuned a bit more.

The dude on the black RD needs to be aware which sway he's turning. His side stand limits lean angle.
Some cool pics.

I always wanted to ride an SDR. Anybody have experience on one?

I'll trade vocations with ya!

Here's my thoughts on handlebars. I look at how my hand/knuckles line up with the grips. I try to get them just inside of parallel with the grips, adjusting rise, width and pullback will effect this. Having your knuckles close to parallel to the grips gives better control and helps combat numb hands as well as properly adjusted levers. I'm sure everyone is different but if you've got narrow shoulders your probably not going to want 34" wide drag bars....

Not his first day... looks like fun

My R5 did that. I was able to mostly solve with air screws.

I have trouble understanding why anybody would follow any other sport...?

I think the tech has produced some of the best racing. The last three or four years of Motogp have been awesome, save for any 'mericans racing.

This is coming from a total luddite...

How do you mount it? It's so perfect, between engine noise, seeing the instruments and the road.

Your vids help us northerners get through the winter.

  I don't see a problem with that.

The RD cases are better. Can you throw the R5 top end/crank at the RD?

Believe me you'd be hard pressed to find a more enthusiastic tuner. If he wants to hang he'll be around.

  I'm sure like most of us here. Sooner or later if you're around me long enough I'm going to make you ride a motorcycle. Some take to it some don't. Sounds like she did!

  this is going to fun. Thanks for sharing.

Went for a nice evening ride myself tonight. She didn't miss a beat and is sooo nice to ride without that flat spot.

Avon Roadrunners. Which are hard to find for a 110/80 rear right now...
