Ready to roll!
Hey guys, me agina, as most of you know was having trouble with lowering the sv enough for old short **** me!
Wel just to let you know i have the dogbones fitted and have good clearance everywhere, so took her for a blast round the corner, didn't dare go to far as the side stand wasn't fitted!!! And the result..... i think i may be ok! I managed ok... the only couple of wobbles i had were when i used the front brake, right to a stop and its very abrupt! So lesson is to use the front progressively and the back to bring me to a stop! I went out round the block and my mirror kept flopping down so had to ride back round home, realised when i got there i couldn't go in the garage to get a spanner coz there was no stand, so i managaed to hold the bike up on one foot, whilst using my mobile ( i was stainary) to call me dad to come out and help, as i couldn't take both hand of the bars! :p So i think i did pretty well! I was suprised at how responsive the throttle was even though it restricted! Went over a bump and ended up accleratering, i was jerking all the way down the road and got some funny looks! But the main thing is now i can put me feet down thanks the foot peg raisers, no more bruised legs! Jobs a good en! |
Re: Ready to roll!
without a sidestand you gave yourself opportunity to do something that you didn't fancy doing, ;-) 8)
I'm pretty sure that the pointy throttle response is a little more sensitive than the curvy, could be wrong! wouldn't worry about it, I manage to accelerate by accident at times..oooopss! which dogbones in the end BTW? |

Perfect as it can get, obviously would prefer more foot on the floor, but that just isn't do-able not if don't want my rear tyre shredding and the exhaust catching the floor and chucking me off! |

Re: Ready to roll!
Sure is!
I have also realised for now, I'm just best to stop at all junctions and get used to how i do it! Rather than trying to assess the road on approach and then decide, if i have to stop it can all come to late and i'd panick! That will come eventually, besides the stopping is what i need practice in! lol |
Re: Ready to roll!
You were so down a few weeks back. I'm pleased you've found a solution. Great news!:D
