I just like how smooth the bike shifts. Which when she first got it she let me ride it for a while to help break it in. I put 50miles on it and fell in love with it. Of course I stalled it out and almost had it fall over at a light. No thanks to the RC51 in front of me with FMF pipes that thunder so I couldn't hear the bike(Nor could I feel it).

Shifting on my old F3 requires muscle work. Especially getting from 1st to 2nd(Don't even consider power shifting in there). I guess 32k on the odometer doesn't help either.

Which I have to say Kawasaki has it going on this year.

lol.. new bike.. As old as it is.. I love the bike.. Mine isn't that old.. only 1 year... but its really 6 yrs old at heart..

I agree with the rest.. you won't really lose enough hp to really notice..

It's about how much hp I gained with all my mods.. not really enough to notice..

oh... and SeaFoam is great stuff for cleaning your carbs... you can pour it in the carb (I did on my truck) or put it in the gas... you can even spry it (comes in a spray and normal liquid form) in the intake to help clean the intake track...

screw those cheap paper OE filters... spend $30 on a Pingle. Just pull, clean and re-insert.

As far jetting... as OTB said... maybe some lack of power at higher elevations... but nothing bad.
