Default Went to JHS

Had a big service and fork refreshment at JHS yesterday.

The service was a 15k one and all the chassis components feel far better. They also gave the forks new oil and checked my emulator settings as I've been having front end problems. I'd got nearly 4 turns on em which they backed off to 2 and also found a bit of plastic in one of the emulators which was restricting the oilway. Ride back,in the dark and rain, confirmed they were better but need to more thoroughly roadtest them before giving them 10 out of 10.

Also it was put on the Dyno. The fuelling problem unfortunately was not resolved, but we're going back in a couple of weeks when James will have a custom jet kit available.

Topped the day off by visiting the Bristol mofos. Thanks to Stretchie and GG for their hospitality and all the other mofo-ers for the good company.



Jame's old thou. Over 140 bhp at the wheel.



Breakfast at Fowlers (just for Drew)



03 Curvy.



Base run. You can clearly hear it missing



Behind closed doors. Mechanic with a 2into1 M4 system reckoned ours was louder.

+ 1, think you'll find that a 2002 Curvy is usually sold at a higher price than a 2003 pointy!

Ah... the lovely sound of an M4 full system! Yeah you bike don't sound to great there Pete, clearly missing! Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself down there, have anything special dropped in the motor?

Didn't really look YC, but it wasn't mint by any means and 9k on the clock.
