    Greetings everyone from Sacramento, CA. I just purchased a 2010 Street Triple R to join my 2000 Triumph Legend, completely different beasts. I flew down to LA and picked up the bike in Santa Monica to ride home. It was a great ride given the lack of traffic and everyone flying between 80-90mph. This bike is a real speed demon compared to the Legend! Installed a new rear tire yesterday. Now, I just need to explore options for lightening the clutch lever pull and picking out some different exhausts. (The single sided CRM is much too loud for my taste.) Any suggestions for easing the tension on the clutch lever? Favorite exhaust?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi Eric, welcome to the forum. You'll get loads of info on here. Although most of the brain boxes will be snoozing at the moment. :sleeping:
