Thanks to all for the warm welcomes and the tips. Will be practicing some stops real soon in order to get a better feel for the brakes and learn what the limitations are for the fronts. Did learn something interesting about the yellow engine light when you turn the ignition on. Just about all of my previous bikes you would wait for the yellow engine light to turn off before hitting the start button. Well on these new 107s that light will not turn off until you start it. That's a new thing with the 17 107s according to the Service rep that I spoke with.

Welcome to the world of 3, nice looking ride, enjoy. Just remember that you have the extra width behind you now, curbs, gas pumps, ect.

Good point to remember. Almost had an oops moment the other day when pulling in the garage. Came within a half an inch from my other ride. Realized it when I got off and I will need to be more careful with that. Thanks

Someone said stick your arms out, that's about how wide it is. Depending. Yeah, I missed the pump curb but got the A-frame sign after it on about the third fill-up. No damage, though. Came close another time.

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to the forum. I bought my 2017 TG in October and have not looked back since. Best move I ever made for me and the wife. You can learn much on this forum. Enjoy the research. Stay Free on Three!

For those that haven't noticed, look how many brake fluid lines run to each front caliper on the 17s.

Two on each side. Not 100% sure but I assume its because of the link system that they come with.

I just recently adjusted my E brake and that seemed to tighten everything up, the front brake feels better then when I rode It off the showroom floor, check that everything Is adjusted properly.
