Default Brought her home yesterday

Just got it home yesterday from the dealer!! Rode it about 22 miles so far. This thing is absolutley incredible!!! The steering is so easy, it really does feel like it has the power steering, even though it doesn't. I really don't see the need for the one with EPS unless you have a disability. I just couldn't imagine the steering being any easier.
The power is just ignorant! Just touch the throttle and its going. I'm still breaking it in and riding it easy, so no wheelies yet, and I've only had it about 28 MPH max so far.
One complaint, it already backfired 7, yes, 7 times so far. I already called my dealer this morning and the salesman is going to talk to the techs and then call me back. He said I'll probably have to bring it in so they can look at it and probably adjust something.
Other than that, it is one amazing machine. The suspension is great. A really smooth ride, and it does not squat at all when I get on it.

Ok, pics are on the way, sorry but seems like some ended up a little dark. I will take some more better ones in a few days when I get more time.
My dealer called back and said to use 91 or 93 octane, as they use the 87 when they filled it at the dealership.
He said if it continues to do that then he'll have me bring it in. So, I guess we'll see how it goes.

Pics
Hopefully this works, yeah it is muddy, but that is only because it was raining out and we live on a dirt road, so it got muddy on the trailer on the way home. Pics were before we rode it. The other bike is the 06' 700. One of the pics the tires look smaller, it must be because of the camera angle, as the tires on both of them are still stock.

I'll keep ya'll updated, and thanks.
I don't think that the higher octane is the real problem, but I'll give it a try. If if doesn't quit backfiring, then it will be going back for them to tune up.
