So long "Sharky" we've had a lot of fun.


and Hello, "Blue Whale"

 

What's the deal, only one mirror? Or are the handlebars turned to hide it? I've got a big blue pearl. Nice bike.

 

No they gave me both, don’t give corporate any ideas , just handlebars turned.

 

Already adjusted the shifter angle, cause I’ve found out that I couldn’t shove my boot under it, had to upshift with the side of the boot. Also not sure whether to wait for 1k service or just adjust clutch now, it engages at the very end, so there’s basically no “friction zone”. Maybe wait till clutch plates wear a little.
Bare necessities ordered: heated grips, 10” wind splitter shield, saddle bag guards and most importantly service manual.

 

Congrats on the new ride. Boot “under” the shifter - foreign concept Throw a heel shifter on that bad boy! You can get the Muller Power Clutch ramp and make the pull nice and easy and put the engagement just off the grip…throw in the FBI ez adjuster while you’re at it.

 

Also just noticed, while walking around it in the garage - they've changed the front axle on these models, so no more axle caps.

 

The chrome with that blue sure is nice!

 

Yeah, I'm a chrome ***** Dealer had to order that combo (they've had blackened one on the floor).

 

Love the Blue and chrome. Adjust the clutch. No need to wait, it won't get better. My dealer did that to mine at the 10k service and tried to tell me it was supposed to be that way. BS, it was better before they "adjusted" it.

 

Most dealers around here have 5 or 6 blacked out bikes for every chrome one. Not sure why.
