Welcome Shawn, what have you bought yourself, a gen 1 or gen 2 ? There is plenty of info on this site about how you can improve the handling, or ask & someone will know.

Welcome Shawn,
18 years without a bike, then pickup a GSXR 1300 and ride home 500 Km would have been quite a tense ride. It maybe not so much of a handling problem as a can not handle the ride problem.
There is lots of information in this site and willing advice from members to sort out problem if there is one.
If there is bike on the road it is a ride, If there is more than one bike it is a race.

If there is bike on the road it is a ride, If there is more than one bike it is a race. I was a motorcycle courier for 9 years, riding a bike is pretty much instinctual, to be more specific in the "handling problem" It favors right, tends to want to stand up left, not a biggy Its just that I noticed it...
The bikes never been dropped and appears straight as...Your right though it could be me...
Oh yeah the 500 was in the pouring rain, and then fog , In the dark...so yes Ive a few aches....
LOL

Hi Shawn and  .
I hope you get the bike sorted and enjoy lots of great miles on the beast.
Make sure you catch up with us soon for a or a  .
Maybe it is just a matter of resetting the shocks to stock and taking it from there.
OR possibly a steering head bearing check.
"If time catches up with you. You're going too slow!"
Regards BUSGO
