More like "it'll separate the boys from you, man."
My hands are numb, my ass hurts. The bits don't feel right, and trying to ride on an interstate for a long time is harrowing when 70 rattles bolts loose.
I do like the bike though. Once i get some of the gear off, it's a different bike. Still shakes like crazy over 5; rpm though

don't worry it takes at least 500 miles before important bolts like the shifter bolt rattle off
tighten early, tighten often
Kevs little 450 felt like it was an electric bike compared to mine

Might investigate the suspension a bit. Not sure about your gen, but the 690 manual recommended settings are RUBBISH. Backed out from all in/stiffest settings, 'sport' is 10 clicks from rebound on the forks and shock. It was like riding a plank. My tailbone hurt, a lot, the front brakes worked poorly and it shook on anything but the smoothest tarmac. To give you some reference here's my settings for the track - THE TRACK
Forks: Comp 18 clicks/ Reb 13
Shock: LS Comp 14, HS Comp 1.5 turns/ Reb 15
Around 15 clicks out was their 'Standard' setting and 20 is 'Comfort'. So on the 690 E, Waaay too much damping to follow their guides.
Some time spent on the suspension might smooth out some of your paint shaker.

not going to help
correct me if I'm wrong but the 690 has a counter balancer, our older LC4s do not
Travis just has to get tough and learn to enjoy the pain, look forward to the pain, embrace the pain
