I'll talk to him tommorow but from what I felt it was far more controlable than my SV but he worked for delmarva powersports and had it done in shop when he got the bike.What is the proper method for lowering,he said he had the parts to bring it back to stock but to be honest I have no idea about this suspension.I'd apreciate any help with setup because he's probably 140 and Im 250 so Im sure its not universal.Ill check when I talk to him.Man this bike is unreal,I could not believe the lift on the front wheel with the first 3 gears and I did not give it full throtle by any means.I like how low she goes in turns.I turned onto a road behind him and Im glad I did'nt give it gas in the corner because when I got strait she was up that quick.If you can't tell Im a little extatic about the bike.
