The price was reduced from 19998 to 17998. The original post was edited. Sorry for the confusion.

Maybe, if I get to middle of the riding season and still no interest in the bike that may be my only option.

Yes, handling was noticeably improved. The stock wheels are boat anchors.  Acceleration also seems slightly better but range is not noticeably improved. Keep in mind I ride this bike for enjoyment not range so that may be why.

How did you adapt the front brake switch to the Brembo master cylinder?
I added the same style connectors to the brembo lead, unplugged the JJuan MC and plugged in the Brembo.

If you care that much about handling then you probably should have got an Energica, not only would it be faster in the turns but also accelerating and top speed. Now I'm not saying there's absolutely no reason to want an SR/F specifically and also want top notch handling but that's not a need that many people have, for the intended use and target audience it handles fine with stock components (which are already fairly high end compared to a lot of bikes).

So I came here looking for something like:
"Hey there, I find the rebound to be a little soft up front so a couple of extra clicks in on the front"
or maybe even:
"I personally found the shock spring to be little underrated so I added a little more preload than the spec called for and it settled the bike on corner exit"

But I've learned I bought the wrong bike.

Yeah, but people like to fiddle :) Getting a Maxton shock and fork internals would likely be quite a night-and-day difference in ride quality and handling but we'd be looking at over a grand...

Cas :)
A grand on suspension on a 20 grand bike isn't a stretch at all considering I've spent that much on my offroad bikes.  This is what I was asking about! ;D

Being a long time motorcyclist and having had many of them I fundamentally disagree with "you simply bought the wrong bike" premise.  Bikes are modded all the time and stretched in ways they were not primarily engineered for.  It's a fundamental motorcycle thing and is why there are so many styles/genres of bikes today. 

Example-- look at "King of the Baggers".  You can't tell me that track racing was a hot topic when they were engineering the HD Road Glide or the Indian Challenger but yet here we are with people setting them up and beating the snot out of them on the track.

Thanks again.  Maybe I should have prefaced that I understand how to set up the bike.  I was looking more (from other experienced riders) likes and dislikes with the stock setup (springs and valving of the suspsension itself).

I'm starting to get the impression that this forum is more "EV" than "motorcycle".  I don't see all that much conversation regarding the latter.
