Thanks for the reply Copper and CarlS. Yeah, the mechanic told me he's been doing the same for a while on his 99 Tiger. He even hits the track with that combo every once in a while and he's never had a single problem. He told me he wouldn't let me out on the street if it wasn't safe. (Liability and all.) But, Copper, you mentioned handling not being quite as good without a matched pair. That's what I'm worried about. I know, I know, I'm a big wuss. You guys obviously can handle a small variation in handling and are probably seasoned veterans compared to me. I only have 900 miles and 2 1/2 weeks' riding experience under my belt and... Yep, I'm a wuss. The mechanic who worked on my bike told me this would stay in the back of my mind and make the ride quite a bit less enjoyable, and he thought that part wasn't acceptable. So, a swap it is. I'm sure a year from now, I'll laugh at how lame and overly cautious I've been. :blush:
