Love... Hate... Relationship!

I've wanted one of these the last couple of years but enjoyed my Fazer 1000 too much, it never missed a beat and was very forgiving... the downside? it went quick!! ...... all the time! My wife used to shake her head at my antics... a backyard full of kids and an idiot on a bike! WHERE am i going with this?? Top and bottom? I traded the Fazer in, without a test ride!!! Rode 40 miles home on motorway and A roads and thought... this is different?... surging... jumping... hmmm? I thought, must be me single cylinder from a smooth four? Anyway, I joined the forum to find out it's a common trait with mods available... sodding bike...hated it!!... well next ride out.... loved it, bike couldn't get enough of the green laning and neither could i .. little niggles, yeah I can live with that... ride out yesterday to do a little more bonding...loving it... loving it .. wet roundabout!!! surging!!! wrong gear??? slip clutch?? Sodding bike!! Ar*e twitching moment!! ... hating it!!.. with lot's of other vehicles too close for comfort!.. Anyhow rode home uneventful and wondering what I should do with it?? just started loving it again and thinking... don't be too hard on her you've only had it 3 weeks and 200 miles.. when, I noticed a clicking while manouvering into the garage?? Amazing!! what next? I thought the bloody clutch cable isn't long enough and catches on the oil filler cap when changing lock....!! You know what? This bike and me could have some fun... it looks the biz and makes me smile.... sometimes! BUT... YAMAHA .. need to address these little problems because I would not recommend my bike(a 2011 xtr) to my friends....... Is it me?? Tony
