I picked this 599 up right after Xmas and proceeded to get it set up for this season. I had been lusting after a 919 for a few years but after riding both the 919 and 599 back to back I preferred the handling of the 599. I have been out 2 times since buttoning up the bike and it is so freakin' stable and turns in almost telepathically. It was bone stock when I got it and here is a list of what all has been done to get it set up......for those that care *New Dunlop Q2's *RaceTech Gold Valves & springs, 15wt. oil, preload adj. fork caps *Ohlins HO 321 rear shock *All new fork seals and bushings *Renthal Ultra Low road bars & Aprillia Tuono mirrors *T-Rex Racing frame sliders *DynoJet Stage 1 rejet *2 Bro's Black Series can with baffle insert *All fresh fluids *EBC sintered brake pads front and rear *Installed paddock stand bobbins The suspension was well worth the time, effort and expense. COME ON SPRING!!!!! Yeah, I'm jazzed.
