Well done bert, now you just have to adjust your braking points etc. to ensure with the new power you have enough time to slow/stop as req. Remember you have more power, more speed but same brakes & reaction time, might need to adjust slightly.
Be safe,. OG

Congratulations Smeggo.....and NEVER, in answer to riding the Duke!

Really impressed you stuck the restriction through to the end. Good on ya! I'm sure Pete will be along later to add a few insults!

My first go on my sv was unrestricted, had to ride it home, coming from a 125, i was thoroughly shocked at how fast 100mph came its now restricted and i havent touched it since, im not anticipating much of a change as like you i ride it at about 5k. I too will be staying restricted for the duration.
