Tires?

[650f]

I would say, if they are new tires don't ride on them like they are used. Slow and steady wins the race. How's the bike seat? Did you ever get to try the stock 650f seat?

I'm not to impressed with the Corbin seat I got from Hole-shot, the shape is better than stock, but there is so little padding that I still get hot spots from it after about a half hour riding time, I have about 1500 miles on it so it should be broken in.

I have not tried the 650 seat except to sit on one on the show floor.

I have given up on trying to make the Bandit into a comfortable touring bike & instead have decided to get a different bike, check out this thread http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...test-ride.html
