    Still trying to get my coordination back after about a 5 year break from the RF900.

    On the way back I hammered the 800 a few different times in first and man i thought i would have to re-sprocket to wheelie,.. of the three bikes i have had this 800 wheelies easily,.. a little too easily.

    I got home and checked the sprockets,.. 43 in back/ couldn't see the front,.. i guess there's a small chance the previous owner could have gone 15 tooth vs stock,..

    Im 187#'s,.. just wasn't quite expecting that~ guess a few of the first gear roll ons i may have hit V-Tech just at the right moment,.. one got well up,.. quicker than im comfortable with just yet.

    Love the bike so far,.. gotta dump the Throttle-Meister though,.. dangerous on my bike currently in my opinion anyway.

    I need to look at what is involved getting the little deallie out from under the grip but its all coming off,..
    I may, i like the idea but I suspect mine was never set up properly and it does set you up "for a pretty f'ed up day" as Cycle Cruza would say,..

    PM me your email and i will put you down for it in the notes app for my VFR on my iPhone.

    If i sell it it will just be enough to get replacement bar ends.
