You really want to toss the bike easier get cityx triple and bars
There are alot softer 2 compound tires may give you more confidence to power through the curves

Ok my tire pressure is 35 front and 38-37 rear. Couldnt find what pressure they should be at on the tire. Looked in the manual and the pressure is ok, though not 100% on. Manual says 34 front and 36 rear.

Update. Changed my front preload to 6 lines, took it out and it "flicks" a bit easier. Then i raised my rear preload to position 4 and it was a bad mix. Going to change my front to line 5.
But im wondering if i can run my front preload at 5 1/2 of the line? I had a pretty big change with just the one line from 7 to 6, so i think it might be a bit much with a whole other line.
Will 5 1/2 lines be ok if both sides are the same?

Thanks!

I know I am bringing back the dead here....but I wasnt really getting the counter steer thing, I have been a little curios how folks get there bike so low as well, while still being able to be in so much control. I admit it becomes easier the more I get used to the bike and its limits, but I still wondered about it, and right after I read this I saw this Video and realized more of what you guys are going on about. Truly amazing really. Makes me love this sight more and more, to be able to learn so much about this love affair that is our buells. hehe.

I am still a bit far from that level of course but its nice to have goals...haha

so loki, I know its been a couple of years...so I imagine you have had quite a bit more practice now. Do you feel you have improved since watching these videos? Are you more satisfied with you ability to put the bike down more now? Do you feel safer and more confident with cornering?

just wondering.

Yes. I have always been confident in my turning, I just wanted faster turning transitions with the XB. I was never able to get that. The XBs just require you to really throw yourself into it.
