picked up my 16 ES last week and in the process of doing my break in before a few long trips down the US.
Coming off a 07 Vee, what a change. This is truly the machine I had been looking for ! I'm still getting used to the nervous throttle. Installing a laminar lip as pretty much eliminated buffeting.

questions:
- 1st gear sometimes a little difficult to find. I find myself having to release the clutch a little to be able to "fall" into 1st. not sure if this is normal or if it will get smoother with time? would going to synth oil help?
- There's about a 7-9 km/h difference between the speedo and what my GPS is reporting. normal?
- Wondering about risers vs handlebar change to bring it back maybe and inch and half? Id like to make sure the cables still reach?
- rear rack change: I'm looking for a rear rack (change from stock) that can take a rotopax 1 gallon (maybe 2) flat?
