It loves corners, just start to lean and it just goes over!
twist the throttle and it pulls out like crazy.
I learned that I need to get smoother with my low speed on/off throttle control, but other than that this thing is awesome.
The one downfall is it does not like to be below 3500 EVER.
Trying to cruise at 55 mph in 6th is at 3200, and it's not real smooth.
Did have 2 minor issues with it however.
1. died at every stop, unless I would blip the throttle when I pulled in the clutch
2. Check engine light came on a couple times through the day, no apparent reason.
Dealer is picking it up on Wed, so we'll see what happens then.
Hopefully I can get it back quick and it is nothing major!

I was the same way with the smoothness on/off the throttle when I got my bike... I realized that it's just a new bike thing... Sorta like when you drive a different car... I experience the same thing. Start playing with hard braking, you'll see similar results.
