    Honda tool kit for SP1. I don’t fancy trying to undo the rear axle nut with that ring key. Where’s the extension you used to get, not that it was much good. Mind you if you buy a CBR500R you don’t even get a spanner for the rear axle nut.

    I can't imagine that spanner would even work. At 135 Nm one couldn't undo the nut by hand, and if putting an extension bar on the end it would just bend the frigger! (I haven't even opened my tool kit. Infact, not sure if I even got one. I was more interested in trying to get the document bag that wasn't provided!!)

    At last? What am I missing?:confused:

    Ah, right. Thanks. It looked normal to me because the SP2 Marchesinis already have right angle valves.

    I had it fitted at the Honda dealer to ensure I didn't get any such problems. Just call me chicken.

    I was advised my SP (2016) should not take a rider over 250 lbs (114kg). I need to be careful...if I gain 85 pounds I won't be able to ride it!

    I changed to exhaust because the 2012's exhaust was very heavy. I assumed to SP's exhaust was gonna be the same but it isn't heavy at all. I thought the insides would be full of Euro4 parrafinalia but apparently not. No doubt it's helped by the titanium but I wouldn't have thought it made that much difference.
    Cosmetically it's much better. And if I ever clean it, it'll be easier. I'm hoping it never gets dirty.

    I love my big end can. If I ever tire of it, I'll sell it to Eddie Stobart for one of his trucks!!:)

    Although I don’t disapprove I’m not sure why we needed the “sculpting” on the mirror stems.
