As a noob who is probably too excited about motorcycle in general (small dream of mine for long time so happy to see it materialize finally)
I been reading alot in different forums and watching too much youtube.. I don't want all that infos to fill my head with too much ideas. (Ex. being able to pass bigger bikes in corners one day.. haha)
I'm planning on doing small upgrades but wanted some opinions/suggestions from you guys.
Upgrade I will be installing: steel-braided front brake line (Galfer), R6 throttle tube mod
Already installed: EBC HH Sintered brakes, K&N Air Filter
Thinking about installing: Racetech front suspension springs and oil upgrade, tires (Michellin RS or something.. currently running on stock front and hockey puck for the rear), some sprocket tooth number changes in the future
I would like to make the bike to be more responsive and stable/fast around the corner. No tracking with this bike but mainly used as a fun toy / commuter. Not interested in exhaust or jetting.. unless adjusting current setting.. Hoping to turn it into a fun cornering machine that can double up as fun grocery run machine.
I'd appreciate any advice on the set up from you guys who have done it or have knowledge on the matter.. especially concerning the suspension set up. If changing out the springs and oil is good enough or should I be looking into GSX swap... if there's merit in going one route over another.. etc..

Get on this website's mailing list "motosport.com". Last spring they had a sale I took advantage of. Bought one Galfer braided steel line and got the second for free. It's basically a 1/2 half off sale. They may be doing it again. Moto Sport is basically a dirt bike retailer but I have purchased a few thing from them I couldn't get elsewhere.
