Why the HELL they keep putting those shitty stock pads on bikes is beyond me. Put on Lyndalls from the factory and be done with it. The stock pads are horrible for feel. I think much of the bitching about the ZTL system is the pads used.

Why doesn't Buell set up the bikes per the rider. Instead they allow these monkeys to do the usual set up that they do for every other bike and wonder why the bike feels "sluggish" or "twitchy". Read a manual once in a while folks.

You only get one time to set a first impression. Buell seems to revel in blowing that opportunity EVERY TIME!
I don't think the pads are THAT bad... my experiences are limited however, newer R1's being the only repliracer bikes that I've been able to ride aggressively.
Though I will be getting something different when these wear out. Maybe then I will realize the diff.
As for the set up. Yes, the mags should do it. I know they do it on the Ducs and jap bikes.
