1st The stock seat. After a few hours of riding, your ass is all sore.
I do not want to spend the money for an aftermarket one. Too expensive
2nd The handlebars. They're just ****ty.. Never felt comfortable, always caused pain on my wrists. Changed them for fz1, they're far better and cheap.
3rd The exhaust-muffler. What the heck was that yamaha? It's one single heavy ugly metall box with 2 holes in the end. Changed them for Leo's, lov'em!
4th Lack of power in low-mid range. Changed the 16 tooth sprocket for a 15.
5th Tiny friction zone. Changed clutch lever with 2-finger shorties. Better, but not good.
6th Clunky Clunky gear box. It hurts me to hear that metal noise coming from her internals. Nothing I did, resulted in a permanent solution. Tried different oils, chain&sprocket kits, levers, lubing, adjusting, preloading... Eventually it will always be a Clunky Clunky gear box. My biggest complain...
7th OEM throttle grips. Changed them for Harris Gel. Nice!
8th Heavy vibration in exactly the cruising speed. No fix for that
9th Jerky throttle control. Takes the fun away in twisties. No fix for that either, none that I'm aware of.
10th Barely any space under the seat. A friends SS has more space under the pillion seat storage.
Other than that, the bike rules! Best value for money. 115.000km and counting with only minor problems.
