Switch to a full synthetic oil after the first 600 mile service is done...and it'll smoothe out a lot. Also, the bike will shift smoother if you 'rev through' the gears a bit..don't baby it.

I've thought about the m109r, but every article I've read says (a), they have no cornering ability (pegs hit very early) and (b) they're very uncomfortable (bad seat). Comments?

Lol, mine is lowered almost 3" and I have yet to scrape a peg. This is because I ride it like a cruiser and not a sport bike. Not sure who has the bony ass but mine is well cushioned and so is the seat, lol. No problems with comfort. The only complaint I had out of the box with this bike is the touchy throttle. I bought a JSD 3M TRE and that took care of that. The clunky shift takes some time to get used to, but some synthetic at my 4,000 mile oil change will cure that.

My roommate wanted to upgrade from is Honda Shadow Spirit (750). He was in love with the SE Mean Streak. Nice bike, I rode one myself. But as power cruisers go, it's probably the lowest. I told him this, and recommended so others. The M109R being one. He said he tried it but when he sat on it his right leg touched the heatshield. I was surprised since we are the same height I decided to try it out while he was haggling for his new Meanie. Yup, sure enough my right leg did as well.

Mine touched the heat shield as well, but once the bike was lowered I could flat foot. The heat shields work great by the way, they never get warm...

My leg touches while flat footed. But roommate got the Meanie and I'm looking in a different direction for my next bike.
