to be honest with you, after the dyno/map session I had the 520 (-1+2) thrown on. The bike is insane, not that I did'nt think it was insane prior, but WHOAAAAAA. Before the new mods to power the bike into a wheelie, I would slide my fat arse (6'02" 220 lbs) as far back as I could go, go about 30mph , 5000 rpms, close the throttle completely and then rip it open (fully). Usually the wheel would come up rather easy, if it came up too fast I would dip the throttle, dropping the front a bit, then re-open it (fully) to raise it back up.
N O W. I slide up as far up to the tank and open the throttle about 5/8ths and the thing bounces right up. I totally have to get used to my bike all over again, which is cool cause I only have about 1200 miles on her. The throttle response is georgous and the initial take off is flawless. Gonna install the speedohealer tomm. I would definitly recommend the 520 to anyone looking to scare the %&* out of themselves. It feels like I went from a 600 (1000 pre 520) to a 1000 (post 520). absolutely insane. I'm guestimating it'll take me 100-200 miles to fully aclimate to the changes. GOOD TIMES.
