Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Get yourself comfortable, that bike has lots of potential, and it’s more fun to rip on a bike after you know the limits of it from a few seasons of experience than it is to rip on it and hurt yourself. ---

Those are always the best deals :tup: > [@Toda Party](#): > > I guess I should squeeze the tank w my legs more? My left hand gets fatigued so fast from the weight and clutching… Yes, basically. Sit up more, use your legs. It’s not constant, but you’ll figure it out when your riding. Just use posture to be comfortable. Your hands will get use to the clutch soon enough. Might want to consider adjusting your clip-ons/bars. ---

> [@Toda Party](#): > > My left hand gets fatigued so fast from the weight and clutching… you really only need the clutch to start or stop. apply pressure to the shifter, let off the gas a little. it will up shift. it takes some time to feel like you arent abusing the bike but its perfectly fine for it.
