Just home today from nw200. Left home on Friday morning and stopped within one mile to put on wet gear, apart from a three mile section it pissed on me the whole way, now not having had rain for about a month ment the roads were particularly dusty and contaminated with shite from lots of tractors lorries cars horses donkeys cats dogs etc sooooo my sc is now coated in baked on shite, iv tried to wash her but it's looking like a bike strip to get her cleaned. Honestly the crap will not come off. Grrrrr. I won't even post a picture as it doesn't do justice to the level of dirtiness my bike has stooped to. If only my wife..... No I won't go there.
It was fitted by previous owner so I can't compare it with the standard bike , but, this is the first bike iv used earplugs as a must , if I leave without iv to go home and fit them , the induction noise is simply unbelievable plus the fueling is so smooth, and on local roads it's as fast as I can ride.in fact I'm riding better than on my old 1098s.
Ive just put the Course Dynamic kit on mine along with a MIVV catless system and a Suno pipe with the baffle removed ... difference is chalk and cheese and the noise did i say about the noise !!!!!!
New heavier rear ohlins springs ordered ( black) , when I set the rider sag iv no static sag hence heavier springs . Once that's sorted I will look at the fork springs as I'm using just about the full travel , mind you I don't seem to be bottoming the forks.
Investing some serious cash into this bike eh! Hope you're keeping all the original parts. Also, i haven't seen any for sale in quite some time, people must be holding onto them.
