You guys are absolutely right. The more I ride the happier I am with the bike set up. One thing I really need to fix or upgrade is going to be the sound system. But first I am going to get that service manual and gaskets to check the cam tensioners.

Go over the bike with a manual and set it up for you. Set the air suspension, handlebars, ride height and other stuff for YOU. If you need to buy some parts to suit you, then do it.
Also, go to the dealer and get the low pressure airpump and keep it in one of your bags. It's great for adjusting the air suspension and comes with it's own foam surround holder.
