[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 205065, member: 4617"] Out for a two up ride with Sonya. Had the air up to about 2.5 kg/cubic cm (about 36 pounds). Worked well. Bike was extremely well behaved and stable with the two of us on it. Having done some 60,000 Kms on my ex-1800, I would have to say that right out of the box with what I would say is a tired suspension, this 1500 actually rivals the 1800. This 1500 holds a line very nicely, and is not affected by lines in the road. Lots of torque for acceleration. I can see why a lot of riders do not want to upgrade. Find the seat and ergonomics of the 1500 cockpit quite nice. The seat is comfortable. Would like to have a shift indicator. Will take a bit of time to get back to knowing what gear I'm in depending on speed and RPM. Have bled the brakes and will be doing the same for the clutch. Have ordered a new air filter and the sub and cruise filters as well. Be buying new plugs, ordering up timing belts and possibly new timing belt idlers. Fuel filter is probably a good item to replace as well. Will do a screen over the air intake as well. Want to put together a maintenance package that will take advantage of having the plastics off. More to follow. Cheers [/QUOTE]
