| Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new SWing. I'm sure you will really like it I was just at the dealer yesterday to have work done and was talking to the salesman about scooters. He is a younger guy that rides a T-Max. They had 2 Burgman 650's on the floor and I was asking about the Silver Wings. He says that as soon as the SWings come in they sale in a day or so, and the last one sold the same day it came in. But the B650's sit on the floor for awhile. I was surprised to hear that since the B650's outnumber the SWings in the riding group here in the Bay area. But I have noticed that they never have SWings on the floor though. But welcome and hope you will be an active member. |

| Hi Bigbird. I'm also from Winnipeg. Ya might just catch me out on the road. Blue 06. I have the Givi V46, Backrest, and windscreen. All good products. I hate to say it but you'll really want to put in some HyperPro progressive springs in the front one day. |

Right now it seems as though you were more effected by the cornering than the performance ... so the HyperPro progressive springs would help right now. The J Costa pins have to be replaced around ~9,000 miles. There have been some that have put lighter Dr Pulley slider weights to improve performance. It may help to discuss with the other J Costa or lighter Dr Pulley Weights for performance gains. |
