Get rid of the hero pegs - thats the FIRST thing I do to any new bike, WTF they are even there for is beyond my comprehension?!?!? Rearsets help as well by giving you a couple more inches although then (as I discovered recently) you may start scraping your fairing!
As Pan said (and I have ranted sooo many times before) do a effing course (all of you out there FFS) and learn all about cornering - you dont have to be a racer, hero, fast rider just go with open mind and I dont care how long you have been riding if you open your brain you will learn something, its invaluable. I have been riding for 35+ years, raced when I was a teenager but man thigns have changed, I have gotten older (even you young whipper snippers will too), forgotten things, bikes have changed etc etc def worth the $$ spent - everyone I have convinced to do it has come away a better rider including myself and I thought I was pretty quick (actually I know I am heh) but thats not the point - you go to learn to be a safer, better more aware rider and thats a good thing
argh dont get me started ... ARGGHHGHHHHHH
