    Hi Guys
    Well picked the bike up today needless to say it don't look like this at the moment,pissed it down on the way home, first time it's seen rain.
    First impressions are WOW,had to be bloody careful with so much power in the wet, could spin the rear up all to easily.So tomorrow I guess I will be cleaning her.
    Has anyone got any suspension settings for a 13 1/2 stone rider as it seemed a bit of a hard ride,I'm guessing cuz original owners was about 16 stone.

    Cheers Stu

    Looks good.

    I'd say put the suspension settings back to standard (as per owners manual) and see if its any better. I've just left my Blades standard and the suspension seems to work well enough (13 stone ish).

    Hi Andy
    You sure will m8,had to wait about 2 years for mine but well worth the wait.
    Not sure when your looking to get one,but someone from Barry near Cardiff if I,m right was selling an 09 plate Repsol on Gumtree a bit back.
    Cheers Stu

    Thanks for the headsup but unfortunately I think it must have gone, I've just searched fireblade and repsol with no joy, I might go and try the filters though incase the seller misspelled his title. Thanks again mate.
