Default New RTS Home With a Few Issues

Ok, she's home but I'm not real happy with the steering. After the dealer re-aligned the front end, the bike steers 80% better than it did. My problem now is the bike has notchy over-sensitive steering to the right - yet the making a left turn like on a ramp, it feels somewhat normal. I think the toe-in is still a bit off. Anyone an expert on self alignment?

Here's a few images - She's Pretty!

You're right; it IS a very pretty bike! Congratulations on getting quite a bit of the funkiness removed from the steering!

Yes, but the BLACK ones are faster, more reliable, and get better mileage.

Sigh... and I thought that we were supposed to be a Nation of colorblind folks who looked past the outer trappings to see the inner beauty of one and all... Oh! That doesn't apply to motorcycles???
