| History: |
Took delivery of the bike on 31st March '07
Just had 4000 ml service & new hoops (Dunlop Race) F&R |
| Modifications: |
Carbon heatshields/heelplates/injector covers/key guard/chain guards/airtubes/wiring harness covers. smoked lenses, Rizoma LED indicators.(look very trick)
RG3's + new ECU fitted - custom map (@ X-Bikes) planned for the (near) future, together with HID headlight & Custom alcantara seats (Biposto) |
| Problems: |
Fueltank / airbox join - weeping fuel form a pin prick hole in a weld, has damaged the laquer on airbox
tank / airbox being replaced under warranty - but still waiting for parts ! (6 months now)
Bolts that hold the exhaust cans to the rear seat unit have a habit of coming loose, even with threadlock applied. This has resulted in the small triangular plate underneath, that holds the cans together, snapping in half.
Lower radiator fan melted caused by faulty fan relay - replaced both fans with Muzzys metal fans |
| Comments: |
Need to soften the susupension a little - almost knocked my fillings out a few times over bumps, but what a ride - makes me feel like a riding god everytime I throw a leg over it.
Very happy with Dunlop Race tyres - considering I never liked Dunlops in the past, they are very stable & mega grippy, with a nice predictable turn in.
Front tyre developed quite a "step" in the middle, after about 3000 mls (obviously spent too much time on the ground & not enough in the air ! ) |
