Careful on the street. No bite for the tires. You may lay it over in a spin out.
I'll lhave to admit, this isn't the best bike to start out on. But since you have now bought it, here's some advice.
You need to slowly get used to this bike before you make any decisions on changing things. Ride it mildly, patiently. Give it lots of respect, because in its genes is race blood.
You said you wanted ideas, other than throttle management. But the throttle is what you need to learn. Position yourself far forward to keep the front end down. And always have your foot ready on the rear break lever to control any unplanned wheelies. Learn to twist the throttle slowly and get the feel of the great control this bike has. If you do what I'm saying, their won't be any hits of power that will surprise and scare you. Once you and the bike get friendly, then get a feel for the power that's right in your throttle hand, but stay positioned forward and be ready to use the rear brake. Get used to this thing. It won't be long and you'll be ready for a 380.
