Rode her for the first time last night, lots of low end grunt feels pretty light compared to my vtr1000f. although when I got to my inlaws and the bike sat for about 2 hrs she almost didnt start. I have already ordered the Yamaha starter selenoid and will be getting a new battery asap! She turn over fine at first try but didnt fire then i turned it off and waited about 30 seconds tried again with fast idle all the way up..no go...CRAp then waited about a minute and tried one last time...and she fired up. All in all I think it will be a blast on track days and fun on the street too.....we will see:)
 
do the mods like the charging mod solenoid etc and i found a second earth strap works well too on the start up as it cranks faster.:thumbup

fit a good battery not a cheap one motobatt ctx14 is a sound buy or yuasa etc

and i find mine needs throttle on cold starts as it floods quick.

warm its a split second to start .

make sure the sidestand switch is good as there temperamental.

get your suspension serviced too if your going track as its well worth it as the bikes have superb suspension so make the most of it:thumbup
