Or both?

I'm tossed.

Granted, I have not had the 300 for that long, and only have a few rides on it. I'm just not quite coming to grip (partially pun intended) with the handling, or corner confidence. At times, I lack confidence through some corners. Not sure if the OEM suspension is too soft, or it's the OEM tires.

Will switching tires (Diablos's) help boost my cornering confidence, or adding Race Tech springs do it, or both? Or do I just need to stop being such a wussy, put in more seat time and just need to adapt / adjust and accept what the OEM 300 has to offer?!

Now! Keep in mind, I love a good riding pace, but ride nothing like a couple (or a few) of others here on the forum. Additionally, the last couple of Ninja's I had owned had suspension upgrades. I had never ridden or owned a Ninja with "stock" suspension. So, this is a first.
