[QUOTE="HammerXR, post: 126543, member: 24068"] You guys are missing my point. I'm not saying that you should assume "all systems are GO" -right from the dealer. Go ahead and make sure that the bike is ready to ride by checking it over, and doing things like adjusting the bars, levers, and sag, etc. Also, of course, make sure the fluids are full, the bolts are tight, tire pressures are right, etc. Any doofus should know to do this. What I am saying that anytime a rider gets a new bike, the rider should actually ride the bike as it is in stock form, and see what changes they feel are appropriate, before doing a bunch of mods on it. You guys have to understand that for many many people out there, a stock bike is more than adquate, if not fantastic. A rider should form his own impressions about what areas on his bike might need to be addressed. (Maybe the bike needs a stiffer fork for the rider's particular style, or bars with a different bend to make it more comfortable.) To simply take a brand new bike and throw hundreds of dollars of modifications on it, before the bike is ever ridden, is down-right stupid. You guys can follow the advice of every Tom, ****, & Harry out there if you want, but I'll always call it foolish. Some of the advice on out there makes me wonder if the advice-givers work for the aftermark parts suppliers. [/QUOTE]
