Enjoy!!! F3's are great bikes. Please be careful out there. I so want a bike, I just can't see the point here in CA. The risk is really high. I used to ride when I lived in Upstate NY and HI. It's just crazy out here.

congrats.
but it sounds like you are still learning about bikes. be careful on the tires if they are brand new. take it easy on them untill they are broken in. too fast of a turn and a little bit of mid corner throttle can land your *** on the ground. the other mods sound good. have fun and stay geared up.

your first time on the freeway is going to be a trip. you'll be doing 60 and it feels like your doing 100. just keep this in mind all the time... you have to be aware of EVERYTHING around you. its really easy to get comfortable like in a car but its a whole new game. riding bicycles through SF my whole life has helped me in a way b/c i learned to anticipate things drivers do. just keep in mind that cars can barley see you even when your not moving around.

Hondas suck, Kawis rule.
Seriously though, nice bike. I just started riding in march. they aren't lying about keeping your head on swivel. If you thought people were retarded when you're behind the wheel, wait until you get on your bike.

jetting is the air fuel ratio. sprockets are like a gear ratio on a car. up in the rear is more acceleration and less top and end. going down teeth in the rear is more top end and slower acceleration. And the countershaft sprocket is the opposite.And the cage is called a "crash cage". Not trying to be a smart *** just trying to help.
