| 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)
Tank & Airbox now replaced - under warranty
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.
Evenyually the weld in the midpipe gave way
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 ! )
Just fitted Racetecs - not really evaluated them yet, due to the weather
Racetecs are mental ! mega grip ! never leaned a bike so far, bike stays rock solid in the turns. Nice predictable turn-in.
Now to try them in the wet........
