Getting stronger?
Any of you other baby 'blade owners notice your bike getting stronger at the 6k mark? I'm coming up on it(sad, I know ) and it seems to pull a little harder. I know my 929 did the same, so I'm just wondering if anybody else noticed it.

Don't you have anything better to do? Like take your Suzook to the shop or something?

Re: Getting stronger?
can't comment on the mileage (still sadly below 3K myself, but shutup, its got like 12 trackdays on it...), but I know I can certainly tell a diff between my bike now and when I first got it. Also, when the weather is slightly cooler, wow does it make a difference in how hard she pulls.

I've always noticed that. I was out about 8am yesterday and it was right around 70. Went WOT in first and it actually floated the front wheel a couple inches off the ground for quite a while.

Re: Getting stronger?
I get that in first second and third on the 1000 when riding in 10' celcius. (I think that's about 40-45F)

Isn't that true with all bikes? Cooler weather means air is more dense.

I have noticed the 1000 loosening up a bit too, I have about 12,000km's on now it feels much better (I think that the gearing change and the air box flapper mod helped too )
