Welcome fellow APRC owner!!
Things I found when I first bought mine...
Hard seat, now not an issue as I'm used to it.
Was looking at raising the bars a little, now not an issue as I'm used to it.
I ride mostly in Road map and to keep the delivery smooth at slow speeds I keep my chain as tight and lubed as the handbook allows (to stop the lashing)
When I first bought it (without trying it I might add) I thought I may have made a mistake, possibly due to the fact I owned a softer Fazer1000 but have now sold the Fazer, which is a BIG compliment to the Tuono as I loved that Fazer.
Items purchased for it...
Akrapovic carbon end can with De-cat pipe (baffle fell out ;-) and I think it's made the bike smoother at town speeds too!
R&G aero crash bobbins
Red rim tape (although told it's "out of fashion" I think it looks great)
Take a look at my Youtube channel, I've a few vids on there about the Tuono V4 including the link below to my first ever ride on it.

Hope you enjoy!
