Hello Everyone!!!!.....My name is Jeremy, Just traded my 2006 Kawasaki ZX10r I have owned since new for a 2013 Stryker.. I pick it up today (if it doesn't rain all day) Very excited to enjoy a comfortable ride on the bike.... Riding a 1000cc Sport bike for the last 7 yrs has been fun and exciting... However extremely uncomfortable!!! Any way, I financed a few aftermarket parts into my loan but I have a whole list of parts and DIY's I am thinking about :tongue: I was on this forum all night reading up as much info as I could... Seems like a lot of great people on here... Thanks in advance for any newbie questions I might ask....lol

Hello Jeremy,
If you plan to start modding your new Stryker, especially to get more power since you are coming off that ZX10, then I highly recommend your first mod be the front pulley change:
http://www.yamahastarstryker.com/18-mods-accessories/7185-front-pulley-change.html it’s the way the bike should have come set up from the factory. Enjoy your new bike.

Welcome. I just bought my striker a few weeks ago after owning a few different sportbikes and the feeling is totally different. Much more relaxed! Good luck with your bike and congrats!

Haha.... Thanks everyone.... With just 50 miles on this bike I a thoroughly impressed! Comfort, handling, balance, nice trans, and that nice v-twin I am very happy! Having only ridin a bike with 100 more hp the last 8 yrs on the street and then buying a Stryker I did not know what to expect... I am certainly following Break in procedure ( the best I can :nod: ) and cannot wait to rip on it!,, but this bike seems like it will be a different kind of enjoyable power and sound ( waiting on my cobra exhaust to arrive Monday ), and again I can't stress the comfort part enough..

Again Thanks everyone, I look forward to getting lots of information, ideas, and advice from everybody.. I will post more pics as soon as I start adding some bolt ons and character to my first cruiser/chopper/ awesomeness. Lol :thumb:
