Don't forget to take those stickers off your mirrors!  |
Yeah I've since learned that it doesn't matter what gear I'm in, or what revs - there's power everywhere. 6th gear at 30mph is silky smooth and pulls away no problem.
I'm absolutely falling in love with this bike. It's just so smooth and eager to get going. The engine feels so good. The lightness of the handling reminds me of my TZR250. So chuckable.
The stickers are off! Reflectors are off (although in the picture below). Tail tidy is on. Pillion pegs will be coming off this week once the blanks turn up.
One issue I'm having though is sometimes when hot the bike won't start straight away. I have to hold the starter and it splutters a little then starts. Other times when hot it starts fine. Something I'm going to mention at the 600 mile service.
