    Can't complain about it, caveat what I have said on another thread about Li Ion batteries and cold temperatures...

    Having nearly dropped my 2 week old street triple on a slope with sand on the pavement my left foot slid, and I caught it within a hair of the point of no return. Having just bought a lithium ion battery for the sv650 that was 9 lbs lighter at the start of summer, I am seriously considering one for the triple. The way I see it, it's a superior long term battery, it removes 9 lbs mass leaveraged up high on the street. When it starts to tip it's easier to catch, as you must resist both the mass and the momentum. Also less likely to tip over on soft ground.
    Costs about $120 USD, bike is now more flickable and you have effectively added at least 1 hp. Great performance mod. ? For you when shite happens, can you at least buy a bar end mirror and lever for $120. Just talked myself into it. How powerful is a 1 lb lithium ion battery pack - I removed 59 lug nuts torqued at 450 ft/lbs on my caravan. One lug nut required a 7 foot cheater bar.

    To add to what I put earlier I have just fitted a lust racing 40mm lowering kit for Mrs fzr. She's made up with the results, says it's like her street rs was to manoeuvre now.
