The fuelling is fine on mine with it de-snorkelled and 15mm tank raisers.

This would be good, leeds has loads of tunnels but is quite a trek from me, would still do the distance for a laugh.

No problems on my k3 either. (No tank raisers) I am not exactly what you would call subtle on the "happy handle" though.

Could not believe how loud it got after chucking the snorkel. Suppose, your head sits right over the airbox so you get the full honk.

Love it.

Sitting at a bike pub a few years ago. A bike starts, stops the talkin', lots of straining necks to see what machine sounds so good..............











CBR600F.


...but....
