    Those are nice. I was thinking of getting the Cream Sickle version, but ended up with the 2014 Honda 450R.

    Just don't wear a green helmet with it, you'll look like a carrot.

    Holy Crap dude!~ I hope she's doing ok today?

    I guess its the chance you take with these things huh? You could be riding an 450R or a freaking 200x! You just never know..

    Sorry to hear about all those doctor bills....

    I had to wrap the exhaust with muffler wrap, and she has to ride with a thick, tall boot sock. Have you ridden it at night yet?. The pipe glows orange after about 10 min.

    Jetting is lean. Factory jetting is on the lean side now-a-days due to emissions. Some bikes are worse then others depending on your altitude and weather. I'd plug chop and rejet if it were me.

    It's fuel injected. They just run hot.

    Crap, I forgot nearly everything is EFI. But, it still wouldn't hurt to tune it. The fuel map can be set on the lean side for emission purposes as well. I haven't messed with any of the EFI quads, but, a good fuel tuner should be able to correct some of that and give you a little performance gain as well.
