Just got it firing!
Hi guys,'
I'm new here, and new to this bike. I've had several European bikes, and still have a big BMW and my old Ducati SuperSport. So I'm familiar and comfortable with them. Let me start by saying, I've totally fallen in love with this wonderful motorcycle, a 2016 V7II Special in Blue, has 2500 miles, I'm in Las Vegas. What a joy. She has brought back all the joy and romance that brought us to motorcycle riding to begin with. So, here are a couple questions. I'h having trouble getting comfortable with the clutch lever. The action is fine, but I cannot get the lever in a comfortable position. I'm considering changing it to a short, aftermarket lever. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a lever? I'd consider changing both. Next question....it feels like it has the lean/surge situation as well. Is that a common thing? Is there anything that can be done? My Duc had that, I did the cans and had the ECU flashed, and it's flawless now, so I am wondering if this might be similar. Am I off base on this? Is this just a matter of getting used to it? It runs great, especially when warm, but at lower speeds, part throttle, it has the classic lean buck. Should I consider doing a flash or some kind of tuner? I'm not looking for any performance increases, simply drive ability. Thanks in advance!
