Only took 8 months to get these carbs working right. Now I'm an expert in something I'd rather not have any experience in.

Bike runs great, took it to Napa and back yesterday. Gettting used to the bike in corners, and it sure seems difficult to feather the throttle on this bike--like when you want to slow down just a tad in a turn, it's like an on-off switch. Are all higher HP bikes like this, or is this just me, or can I blame this bike? It did not feel very safe, but I was keeping a really reasonable pace.

Are fuel-injected bikes easier to modulate throttle on? Is it just that different bikes are different in this respect?

I'm sort of on the fence about this bike after the ride. Maybe sell my two bikes and get an SV650...
