Default WOW!!!!!

Okay,
I've been a little restless of late, so I've had my k3 SVS apart and carried out several mods inc:

TPS adjustment
New Roadtech Z6's front and rear
Baglux tank protector
Gel seat
HEL Braided line (2 front 1 rear {duh})
and balanced the throttle bodies

By God!! What a difference - I've now got a bike that I'm not afraid to grip with my knees and not take the paint off.
A throttle with no snatch and much better low rev control.
A bike that feels so planted on the road now - even with only 30 miles on the tyres.
BRAKES THAT WORK!!!!!!

But more, much more than anything else no vibes and even better throttle control.
The best thing I ever did was to balance my T/B's - still growing the skin back on my knuckles though.

Honestly - my T/B's were hardly out, but it's a revelation the difference that it has made.
It's a must do!!!!
Warning a bitch of a job!!!

Uh? It's really not that difficult... the trick is to use a tool of some sort to get the vacuum caps off... getting them back on shouldn't be a bother either.

Moneybags?! Moi?

Coming from Mr Brand spanking 955i Daytona with brand new plastic coz' he dropped it......

You never asked about my seat before....... well, not that seat anyway
I did 60 in total, but after 30 it felt so much better than the D220's that were on there before.
I also love the fact that I can use 3rd gear on back lanes with no ill effect from vibes in the clip ons

It was more a that the caps had never been taken off before so had sort of welded themselves on. It also helps if you remember to put the caps back on after you've finished balancing and have put everything else on



Right, I'm off to think about my trip to France!!!!!
