Welcome endcan
G'day to the land of the long white cloud from across the ditch. Every time you twist that throttle on the MT10 the earth spins a little faster, enjoy.
Cheers

The GS was a bike that would never get you into bother , you could corner flat chat and there was no excess of power to get the bike out of shape, the MT 10 on the other hand takes a bit more care on the throttle but I'm loving it .ps. I always swore I would never use cruise control on a bike but I have a bit of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and the relief it provides on some roads is great. Only issue is the lack of front brake stopping power I will look at better pads before I go down the braided hose and R1 master cylinder route.

Better brake pads, EBC, Brembo etc., greatly improve and sorts the brakes.

I just fitted ebcs - 5 minute job (and this was by far the most technical thing I've ever done so it really is that easy!) No bleeding, removing the caliper even... Wish I'd known this a while back - I just assumed it would be effort.
