Especially that on/off feel, you'll be able to roll out on power better. A highlight of the platform is engine responsiveness, but the stock OEM mount is squishy and the stock tires are limited. Upgrade these and wring 3rd gear up and down some mountain roads / twisties and it might change your mind on how the base platform delivers.
Though being aware Florida riders have more flat roads and are probably after that power to push for highway cruising, that makes sense. Turbo and supercharger kits seem to sell well down there. |
That's a good idea that I hadn't thought about in that way. I changed out virtually every rubber mount in my 2.5RS and it did make everything feel more responsive/immediate/peppy.
Yeah, on/off ramps are the only real curves we get around here.
