Aloha from Hawaii. Just purchased a 2007 S40 with about 8000 miles on it. Not my first bike but first cruiser. On my way home getting on the on ramp, ran right into the grass area thinking it'll handle the same as my old Triumph Daytona.
Uhhh,, as youve seen,, Noperz! Its got a lotta rake in the front.. Slowish in handling,, gotta stay out ahead of it,,
It didn't lean like I thought it would nor did it turn like I thought it woud. Embarrassing!
Anyway, I was wondering if there are any tips/advices for new (but not new) riders for the crusiers. I realized I need to take corners slowly.
Nope,, ya dont,, one you get a handle on it, youll be draggin pegs hard enough to pinch your foot between peg & motor..
Also, any other suggestions would help as well. Bike is basically stock. I've purchased (after reading through the posts on here) Dyna exhaust and planning on getting it rejetted.
GETTING it rejetted? You mean diggin & doin it yerself, right?
One thing I've noticed is the throttle handle moves left to right like it's loose. There is about a 1cm of wiggle room. Wondering if that is normal for this bike or not. Thanks!!
Nope,, otta not shift left & right like that,, a coula MM's? Yea,, but not 10.. So,, whats the fix? Damfino..
