    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?

    Everything can be done ‘on the fly’ as far as I know.

    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. :D

    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)

    Autoglym Pure Shampoo is rated best for Matte, as it contains no waxes.

    It's what I use and it also smells delicious :)
