Welcome to this quiet little corner and congrats on the new bike Please post a bunch of pics when you get it!
I have ridden most of my life as well and I feel the 1190 is the very last analog Hypersport bike that will ever be made and it is THE most violently accelerating motorcycle I have ever ridden. That includes a 1290 Super Duke!
BTW I have a massive parts stash of OE and aftermarket stuff (RG sliders, APH race exhaust, to swing arms, and subframes, wire harness, ECM's, headlights....)
They are pretty dang good stock, but I'm also a garage fiddler and here's the BEST mods I have done. I wrote about most of them on here:
1) Oberon clutch slave cylinder. If you can't find it by application it's the same as any 1125 (Rev 2 clutch cover), took that heavy clutch lever pull to half.
2) Quickshifter. Why TF they never came with one??
3) 43 tooth rear sprocket
4) Get the "tips' ECM from IDSpd.com and take off the resonator at the least (it will also calibrate the shift indicator to the sprocket you get). It's thumpy and good volume. Any complete muffler system I've heard is LOUD.
For maintenance:
1) It is VITAL that you align the rear wheel and set the chain slack properly, and do NOT lug the engine around town at 3-4K RPM. Doing either wrong will eat up the plastic chain guard that goes through the swingarm, very quickly.
2) Keep on a Tender. Trying to start these with a weak battery is very hard on the starter and the Voltage Regulator.
3) If you run a fast pace or trail brake, run Motul 660 for brake fluid. The rotor runs REALLY hot, it made a big difference.
4) Find an old Dave Moss video and set up your ergos. Pretty straight forward, doesn't need to be about the 1190. I couldn't go more that 100 miles without pain until I did that.
Ride fast! Take chances!;)
I converted an SX to a RX a few years back and went all 1940's fighter Capt. America with the paint.
