Armen , You were so right about the turning. I used a slight s curve outside of town , picked a marker on the side of the road , made 3 passes using 3rd , 4th & 5th at entry speed of about 45 mph. What a huge difference , in 3rd the bike needed to be pulled over and pulled thru the turn with alot of effort , 4th not as bad , 5th was easier to move within the lane , tighten up my line thru the curve , apex where I wanted to apex instead trying to pull the bike thru the curve due to the bike wanting to go straight and making me use the whole width of the lane. And transition from right turn to left turn was much lighter in 5th than 3rd. Now I get it , this will make me a much more controlled rider , what fun it is to learn better cornering skills. Faster thru a turn with less effort and better control. So Cool ! Thanks Armen
