I'll do my best.  The sales guy is not in today so getting info is like pulling teeth (I finally talked the parts guy into doing a re-con out the back to look for the Yamaha box).  I'm hoping it shows today or tomorrow and they can get the PDI done quickly.

I went out for a short ride this afternoon (100 miles) and damn am I one happy guy!  I  Inlove this bike!.  I've been keeping the revs low but still getting on it at times (computer is in T mode) and it pulls.  It handles well but I need to dial in the suspension as it's a little stiff (I haven't touched any settings).  

So far I have added a gps, CalSci tinted shorty screen, Yamaha headlight protector, Yamaha LED signals, SW-motech racks and Micatech bags.  Seeing it's an adventure bike I rode to Alaska this afternoon.  Don't worry though, tomorrow I'll make it to Starbucks!

Here are a few pics.

So far the vibes seem fine (I'm still early in the break-in miles).  I'm coming off a Sportster and a SV650 so everything feels smooth!
