I suppose after ten years I should not complain when I walk to the bike and notice a small pool of fluid and release one of the seals has gone on the front forks, my old SV is ten years old and it is her first major fault to happen.

Dragged down to the stupid level and beaten by their experience again !

Sounds like my boss Pookie, never lifts a hand to help and than suddenly cause mass mayhem and a ton of work and disappears on a training course for a week!

Muppets who KNOW the roundabout exit is only wide enough for one car but still try to overtake you and get upset when they can't. Considering the number of roundabouts I traverse on my way in to Milton Keynes now I get this every single day, even when the traffic is light and there is no queue. I have a feeling MK is full of company car drivers with dreadful superiority complexes.

I knew one of them he was called Paul and worked with DJ when we first got together, total to**er who had to have a BMW even then it was so basic it had no power at all

Running in a new bike....surely a new bike could be run in at the factory so I can just ride it as I want!

Added an hour and a half onto my journey back from Birmingham yesterday to work the gears a bit more...I so badly want to give the bike more than 5k revs! First service today but I still need another 500 miles after that before working up the Rev range some more!

Tolerances on modern engines are so good that you are probably babying it.
Took 1500 miles for my xrx to loosen up.
It's nice and free reving now though.
How's the foot pegs faring compared to the Rocket 3's.
Ps
Your have to do a review of the Explorer.
