Changed the rear brake pads to the EBC HH pads. My stock pads started making noise at about 1200 miles with a whistle/howl sound. I was disappointed at first, but these new pads are already a great improvement so now I am glad they started acting up.

Switched from the Yamalube engine oil to the Shell Rotella T6 Synthetic 5w-40 and the M-110 Mobile 1 oil filter. The motor is nice and quiet like it was with the Yamalube, but a real nice improvement in how smooth the shifting is.

Went up to 15w fork oil and increased my air pressure a bit in the front forks. Made a slight improvement, but I probably should have just put the Progressive Springs in while I was at it. They are still a little too soft.
 
All that you did is heading in a good direction. You need to do the front forks, Unbelievable handling difference, especially if you lower it an inch internally...:biglaugh:

+1 with the PS progressive rates and the internal lowering. night and day.
