Modifications:	Carbon-Fiber Termignoni Slip-On Kit w/Race ECU
Problems:	Stalled twice on first day of purchase. First was driving off the lot, coasting to a stop with clutch pulled in. Second was sitting at a red light with hands off the bars. Has not happened since. Might have been a break-in thing. Neutral light sometimes indicates neutral but the bike is in gear. Don't trust the light. False neutral between 5th and 6th. This has occurred about 4 times. It is a true neutral. What's interesting is you can literally rev the bike when this happens with no gearbox grinding or anything. Since these incidents, I've been more conscious about fully clicking the bike into gear between 5th and 6th and it has not happened since. The same thing used to happen on my VFR-800 and my CBR-1000RR. Probably nothing to worry about. Also, the CBR used to sometimes pop itself out of 2nd gear under full throttle accelerations and whack itself into the rev limiter. But, certainly not within the first week of purchase. Don't get me wrong. The 1098's gearbox is fantastic - effortless - even more so than my RR.
