...... because you just can't cut these keys because of the immobilizer.



This is not quite correct. If you have a functional BLACK key, most any car lock smith can cut you a new key. Autos have been using this technology for years now. The key RF readers are pretty standard items for auto lock ...

The red key can be cut to fit your bike, but more correctly, its not really the key, its the chip on the key that's needed. You can't just buy a new RED key. You need to purchase a entire lock and dash set unless you buy a "hacked" dash.

If your ECU went belly up, the Red key would be needed to "re ...

there is no shipping cost if you ride it !!

Really depends on your weight and your riding style. If you are in the 170-200 lbs. range, then the Ohlins can be adjusted to better fit you. If you are outside of that range, your going to have the forks/shocks done anyway.

The cost of Ohlins components are more than the typical RaceTec pieces ...

Actually it is higher than stock by 1/2 inch or so over the 1x00 and 1 1/2 over the 620. Since I do a lot of track riding, it is the only way to prevent hard parts from grinding.

AT 5'4" and a really short inseam, I am a picture of grace mounting and unmounting this bike.

yep. There are no remote, automated levitation devices available for a motorcycle at this time.

It has had a bit of help

Recent mods are a gel seat and Heat - Troller for heated gear ad heated hand grips.

Ps. Im also the one that created the extra fuel mod. Search for "MultiStrada 620 Fuel Tank Breather - More Fuel"

the 620 loaded for bear

Get a different seat. Its a must if you plan on long trips.

I don't want to be bothered with chain maintenance on the road.

Huuu :think:

Has this ever been a concern ?

Well, you should clean/lube/adjust it every 600 miles.
Shaft drive maintenance is a drain/refill oil change once a year in my garage.

I understand, but I am not going to pull off the ...

I ride primarily to and from work (about 40 miles round trip) and then the weekend 250 milers. Wife does not ride with me...she has no interest. I'm 6-1 225 and while I used to ride MX I find myself dialing it back some these days.

So aside from swapping out the Showa and Sachs for the Ohlins ...

If you are easy on your stuff, then you may never notice the difference between the S and non-S.

If you load your bike up, go 9 - 10th with the wife and luggage on back, then the S version will make a difference. The non-S version can be made to feel as good, but its all about the money. It easier ...

I am a 620 guy. Love the motor. What ever I did not like, I changed. Will go as far as to say that it is likely faster on the track than many of the 1000 / 1100 out there.

PS. you can actually feel the 30+/- lbs. difference. That was the deciding factor for me.
