Them hologram stickers still mess with my eyes …. Cannibalised the rear hugger! Literally cut it in half and shaped to suit. Have never run a chainguard so it’s just more weight saved!…..looking forward to the gearing swap as the OE gearing is definitely way too long. The box of OE bolts mounts daily and weight wise is now just over 1kg…. That’s just nuts and bolts
As if by magic or perhaps witchcraft this just appears on the doorstep … Best get busy! Any excuse to bring out the Motion Pro chain tool
Looks like some good bonding and fettling time together there! Glad your enjoying it. I when I'm not working and it's not raining I'm spending my time riding it still.
It’s definitely a mile munching Hoot! Another 80 miles of madness yesterday 16T front sprocket is so much more suitable than the 17T! As much torque it has 6th gear was pretty redundant, and the lower 3 are quite tall! Now it’s a perfect balance and way more suitable for even more sensible Hoonage
Well finally got round to fitting the full EVO a titanium Akropovic. That was the easy bit! Removing complete airbox and throttle bodys to install rest of kit was a little bit more challenging lets say. Complete Evap system removed along with the Pare system, relocating lots of wiring and plumbing. So now 3.5 kgs lighter from exhaust and around 1kg in emission gubbings. Hopefully mapp updated over the next week or so. The bikes officially off the road now but looking forward to the first start up and get a good heat cycle through the exhaust…. 1500 miles in a still blowing me away! ….. Roll on next season
Looking good @Dave dunlop. Over 2k miles on mine now and it's the most enjoyable bike I've owned. May be odd to say, but definitely the more sensible option for the roads I ride than the RSV4. The suspension and engine make life far more fun at double digits than the Ape could ever could. Tucked up for the winter now, but I could be tempted to sneak one last trip around the local loop if the weather and temps hold a bit longer.
