    Hi all finally got time to join the forum. Got the new bike back at the end of September made the jump from the 6s and I can't believe how much low down grunt she has. Still running her in so not had it singing yet. One question I have is idle speed?? What should it be, as I think it's a little high.
    Any response greatly appreciated.

    Hi, welcome. Take your time getting used to it. They are a great bike to ride but they will bite you as they are a lot less forgiving than your 600.

    Thanks people good to have joined. Been looking at some threads and some useful information. Just need to get the service out the way so I can start to learn the bike.
