Bike is awesome how it changes direction so easy, still got a little issue with the fuelling but everything else out weighs that.
Quick question for the new blade owners here. What is the go with the traction control/anti wheelie? Can you adjust it and turn it off on the fly or do you have to be stationary to swap settings?
Hi Gary1966 Do you still have that matt black blade? Any info yo can give on the matt paint? i heard its crap with scratches and it goes shiny when legs rub on tank. is that what you found?
No mate I traded it in for the sp and then traded that in for the sp2 ha ha I found the Matt paint fine over the 1000 miles I done, I have the triumph 765rs in Matt black not had an issue with it
I've done 8500 miles on mine and it still looks great. There are a few marks on top of the tank between the filler cap and the yoke. Not sure how they got there but definitely not from my legs.
I’ve got a matte black blade I picked up in January - done 1,000 with no issues (cough apart from letting a 7 year old help with the DNA paint cough)
So doesnt sound like I need to worrry then What do you use to clean it - special matt cleaner or just soapy water?
Autoglym Pure Shampoo is rated best for Matte, as it contains no waxes. It's what I use and it also smells delicious
