bike weight
OK I know this is stupid but I just got back from helping a friend pick up a 02 tlr and it felt much lighter than my 99. I have aftermarket wheels, cans (D&D) and undertail but that is the only difference. It also felt a lot for maneuverable. Does anyone know what the stock wheels with tires, rotors and sprocket weigh. i bought mine used with the rims and am wondering if they are heavier than stock. Also could my damper be hanging up a little since it feels more sluggish or would the wheels have more to do with that because of the weight once they turn into gyros.No More TLRTags: None

2000 tillis plus stuff with some polished stuff and some carbon fiber stuff and a little bit of tlr stuff and some gsxr stuff

suspension set-up
I recently set up the suspension using jamie's setup modified for my weight but since i bought it new I do not know if he messed with the fork position in relation to the triple tree. i guess i need some guidance for what the fork position should be. 02 was used but still at the factory settings when we got it. I rode it after adjusting to jamies exact settings since my friend is anout 240 when i weigh only 165. Just felt more nimble and lite to lift (literally I had to pick up the rear tire to get a stand under it in the bed of the pick-up). Maybe I am reading into it too much, i finally scrubbed off my chicken strips on my tires today so I guess my bike cannot be too bad. i also have 12k on mine vs. the 6k on his. Suspension settings would be great so i could check, any dimensions for an agressive street riding style would be great. no time to do track days so keep it streetable.No More TLR

still saying tire pressure, wrong pressure even on a new tire is gonna make the bike feel like a pig in the turns
