    Had my suspension properly set up by Reactive Suspension near York.
    The bike definitely felt more settled into the corners but obviously couldn't really give it a proper test..cold, damp and icy roads... Grrrr

    Certainly worth doing though :)

    Mine will be setup properly next year.

    In the meantime just bought an alloy petrol tank for the blade which will save 2 kilos

    PR3s yes and its a static balance, the heaviest part of the wheel drops to to bottom you then add weight opposite to balance the wheel, once you can rotate the wheel through 90 degrees and it doesn't move or does very slightly its balanced :)

    It rotates on the spindle which rests on the two axel stands
