Don't worry about it, it will come back.

I've just ridden into the office on the 996, the first time I've ridden it since Rocky last year. It felt completely alien after the monster! I can't believe how fast it is, and that was taking it easy because it has brand new tyres on it! Sheesh!

It will just take a while to get used to it and then you'll be fine.
