Just took my New (to me) 03 out for a shakedown ride. It's pretty much stock with about 5k kilometers (BTW, does anyone know how to change to miles--haven't searched it yet, so feel free to ignore. . .) OH MY GOD! I've been riding a 650 vstar, and again--OH MY GOD. 80 when you hit fourth, without even winding her. Did I say ohmygod? Just wondering what it will take to get the front wheel up.

I can see what folks on the seat topics are talking about--what's with the hump right up your butt crack? I think the seat will be the first thing to go. Then maybe some pull-back bars or risers, and maybe some forward pegs, and pipes. WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO??? Don't know, but can't get the smile off my face, so I'm grabbing grips and hanging on!

Regrettably, Lots of cash only makes the condition worse.

Welcome bro! Congrat's on the new Warrior! It's very easy to fall in love with this beast!

That's got to be a real kick after a 650 Vstar. As for the seat, try changing up your seating position a little. I find if I'm not pushing myself back into the seat all the time my tail bone doesn't go numb and it's not all that bad. If I hang my feet over the pegs and squeeze my legs together hard (insert joke here) enough to lift my butt out of the saddle a bit, it really helps. Sounds goofy I know but it gets me through multiple long day rides.

Good luck on your warrior purchase. I just recently got a bike after 30 years. My first bike was a Yami 650. I too have made the 1000cc jump.

 

[luv_a_flip]

found out how to change km to miles on the odometer - just press the select botton (botton on your left) for about 2-3 seconds and it'll do it. good luck
