Default Picked up my SS 1000 DS today...

actually picked it up twice....second time was off the asphalt after the front tire slid on some ice in the parking lot as we were loading it on the trailer ( one more reason i would like to move to cali ). Cracked the left mid fairing and got some nasty scratches, also busted left mirror. Felt like I was gonna throw up...so pissed off.

Any ways.... fired her up and boy this baby is loud ( maybe too loud ) Might look at putting factory exhaust back on it ( it came with REMUS, any one wanna trade )

This is a 2003, so it is fuel injected right????? (i know stupid question) but the manual choke on the left clip on has me wondering

Also it has a 190 tire on the rear, stock is 180.......right?????

And when started the display flashes "LO" in the bottom right screen next to the degrees sign. does this change to numerical indicators for temp or does it change to "med" "high" and "omg i am smokin". How long do these babies take to warm up... I ran it for a while and still could not reduce the high idle without stalling.....

I bought this bike over the internet and did not get the owners manual with it so i can't look it up. I also cannot ride it yet as i am still recovering from a nasty hi side. Thanx any advise about little peculiarites associated with operating this bike would be appreciated
