I have found that stiffer front springs has allowed me to brake harder and not feel like I am going over the handlebars right away

I agree, upgrade you can do for cheap and are worth the upgrade (besides dual disc and such)

1) progressive Spring in front
2) upograde pads from regular ones to -HH ones... regular pads are organics... and wear downfairly quikly the -HH models are metal pads, better grip without requiring as much pressure on handle, better control.

Cheers










Ill do that for starters,..

Why are you in Brazil? And what part? I've been there, and the motorcyclists are generally all crazy!

But seriously like someone said, if you feel the rear sliding like that, stay on it. You don't want it to regain traction while out of alignment with the front. That can throw you off the bike.

not only the motorcyclists are loco, cardrivers, busdrivers there  all totally fudged up, only thing to survive is to adapt ( wich means be as crazy as you can be ) generally I take a few beers before I hit the road...

Ime in Brasil because I was getting sick of the regulations, laws, and burocratie and taxes and cold harted workingclimate of Europe and not in the least the weather.
Ive travelled all over the world ( know NY like my back pocket ) but to me  Brasil is one of the most beautifull countrys in the world the nature is amazing I go snorkling backpakking, and not in the least the nicest people and such BEAUTIFULL GIRLS and they all seem to love me.

Anyway I live in Salvador the Bahia, and all GS forum members are welcome I can asure you you wont get bored,...
