Hi,



I just joined the VFR ranks. I wanted to check in and say Hi to everyone out
there. I picked up a new Black Pearl 06. I have not ridden any other VFR's,
but when the VTEC kicks in, Wow.



First question out of the gate: What are the proper settings for sag? Are
there any standards out there to shoot for, for the VTEC crowd? So far out
of the box, she seems a little soft, yet stays planted in the twisties.



And I am thinking of getting a Mag-knight tank protector, any other
alternatives?







Many thanks,



Tim in Olympia, WA

Re: Newbie

Welcome!

As far as tank protectors, I have used a "clear bra" type material that covers the tank yet maintains the stock look. Not sure if this would look right on the black pearl. (That is a flat color isn't it?)

FWIW.
