Ok,Ok you love your bike but.....

Hmmm.....tough question. Everything I haven't liked, I've changed.

[thirdgenlxi]

The only 2 things that really annoy me on my bike are both aftermarket and can be fixed (I've just been lazy)

1) The freakin Ohlins steering damper... I love it, but it rattles and vibrates and drives me INSANE!! Sometimes I just reach down and grab it and hold on to it for awhile just for some quietness, lol. I've tried all kinds of bushings and rubber pieces, nothing I've done will shut it up, lol

2) I love my high mount exhaust, but the midpipe on the right side won't allow me to move my foot back on the peg and totally screws up my body positioning. I really need to get a different one

Really the only complaint I've ever had about the bike itself is the longer throw for the shifter. I've ridden other bikes, particularly the RC-51, where the shifting was super quick and easy, whereas the F4i's are a little more notchy. It's not THAT bad though. Oh and the clutch cable that always runs in front of the speedo, but that can be fixed with a little metal wire (which I did and it works great), so it's not an issue anymore

I still love my bike though

anything i ever dislike about my bike can be fixed and is usually my own damn fault.

As for the question at hand:

I hate the heat and insanely stiff clutch pull.

I highly doubt it is worse than the chop was.

The heat off our bikes is because they have them so lean for EPA restrictions. Best thing is to tune them and get more fuel into the mix.

I honestly have nothing to complaign about. I have debated on powdering most of my chrome gloss black. Perhaps more power would be good but I dont want to sacrifice any realiability or longevitity of the motor.

The V&H SSr2 exhaust - too fricken loud
The 200lbs of lead in the frame, while offering protection in case of nuclear blast...it does kind of weigh it down a bit.
The mirrors rattling at certain engine RPMs
Suspension in the tight stuff

I can sell ya a full Yoshimura exhaust to fix that.... came off my ZX1000 but should bolt right up to your 11.

The shift light is too low to be useful
the fairings are a pain in the ass to remove/reinstall
the stock seat
the fact that Ed is getting the same one.

You can see for yourself here soon. And I'll put this clutch pull up against any.

I can adjust where the shift light comes on on my 07 GSXr. Maybe yours is adjustable as well.
