New ‘blade for 2020?

Just watched that, thanks.

Oh dear .....

 

I wouldn't worry about the gutless mid-range - its all int he ETV tables.

By the time we crack the ECU and get into the ETV tables and edit them to HRC profile, this RR-R will be such a monster, they will be talking about it in hushed tones... until the next one is released.

The changes I have been making recently to the SC77 ECU have changed to personality so much its like a different bike. It feels like a less powerful version of my Super rather than a powerful street bike

 

Decent showing in Race 1 of WSB today. Doesnt look like too much development needed to get them right at the sharp end and nice to see both bikes finishing without tech issues as well.
That boy Scott has really matured as a rider over the last couple of years too.
You 2020 owners must be chuffed as it was probably the best looking bike on the track !

 

Looked good but still far off the top 4 .......BMW won't have Sean Muir running it for much longer even having VDM next year still off the pace and tech issues ,,,,hats off to Ducati and great ride by Scott hope he wins the title this year...

 

I dig how Ten Kate and their private effort are still kicking the Big H's arse.

 

Hi RC45 hope you are well my son comes back to Belmount in South Carolina in couple weeks how's it over there mate websites say not to bad but good to hear your view....I think the Honda will do better today...

 

Yeah we have just been getting extra rain in Texas.

Other folks may want to button down the hatches.

 

Pure Sex

 

And so the deals have started got a call today as a valued Honda customer and offered a extra 1k on top of any deal also on bike trader pre reg SP zero miles 20995 That's 3495 off ...going to wait until December then happy new bike time ...must admit starting to like it in black now but I think that's because of the BSB bikes ,..

 

And arent they showing some serious promise in BSB !

 

For those that have the lastest sp any one had it serviced yet and if so what are the costs and anything to look out for depending on mileage ??

 

The Irwin boys are getting the most from them anyway!!

 

First service was free for me and the next one too. Thing to look out for is at 2 years the forks require servicing by ohlins specialist.

 

Wow, bet that will sting.

 

2014 SP cost me £160 for service, bushes, seals and postage, so not too bad.

 

Every 2 years though!? Thats daft.

 

This intrigues me. Is this on the recommendation of dealer? Nothing in the 2018 or 2020 Owner's Handbook makes any reference re the Ohlins system to be serviced 2 yearly by Ohlins. Certainly not disputing your advice, merely trying to ascertain a source.

 

Hi @nigelrb,

The info re the 2020 front Ohlins was earlier in this thread - https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/new-‘blade-for-2020.38128/page-57 See scanned Honda service bulletin.

Cheers,

Ian

 

Thanks very much for that, Ian. I do recall that information being posted. I'd actually copied it and saved it but had focused more on the 'carbon parts' and 'running in' which we were discussing at the time.

This does amplify a major let down by Honda UK and its dealers (specifically mine in this case) in not relaying this information to purchasers of the bike. This is a Honda service bulletin and not easily accessible to the public (thanks to @RC45 for posting) and therefore the average Joe, or Josephine, would have no idea of this requirement. In my case the two years will definitely arrive first so I'll now keep it in mind. Cheers also to @Ritchierich for mentioning.

 

Get that profile picture reinstated @nigelrb, you are well and truly "back"
