  3. Good base to work with mate.

    Had a lot of grief with the brakes yesterday. Anything sub 1:45 ish becomes very tricky running in to the abs all the time

    other than that though mega happy with it

  4. As said above mate, really good other than the brakes.

    had a very quick customer yesterday in fast group and I was hanging on for dear life. He was on a trick race bike though in fairness and new slicks

  6. Noice.
    What's the course of action then, for starters ripping out lines and going the HEL route are ya?

  7. Interesting. Was checking my ABS settings yesterday and changed the fluid ready for Donington next Thursday. Mine (V4S) pulls up ok with ABS down to 1 setting. I think Fagan (44teeth) was on a gixer in Jerez and kept running wide due to ABS kicking in. That would drive me nuts.... Very off putting :mad:

  9. It’s got lines mate. Just needs the abs pulled out and some pads I think.

    taking a little while to adapt to the big old girl, riding a 600 fast and 1000 are very different huh

  12. Aye fair one. Yeah I bet mate I've never even ridden one, I'm gonna spend a few years learning how to right a 765 properly first.
