But I hadn't cranked up the new one yet. Wade reckons I wasn't revving it enough, and that it needs to be sky-high (like, in the overrev area of a stock motor) to deliver full power. But mostly the rearsets were waaaaaaaay to high and far back for me, especially with a left foot that won't bend properly, so it just felt uncomfortable. Once I've sorted out all those little niggles, I'm sure I'll start to ride it properly and really enjoy it. The front end felt great!
