First 500 miles done so I can up the revs to 7,500 from the boring 5,000 I've been restricted to. To be honest, can't see me going over that... ever, 7,500rpm equates to 105mph! Her happy place is around the 6,000 mark which is comfy cruising at 80mph and just coming up for peak torque with max power coming on at 8,400. This means I can plod along the motorway and a snap of the wrist will still see me away from danger.
I love this bike :-)
Friday will be her 600 mile service, a very important event, and she will finally get all her extras fitted. That means by Saturday Gina will be complete and I finally get the bike I ordered. Sounds sad, but I really want my topbox and hand guards. I've moved the windshield up one setting which is a happy compromise between shelter and looks and fitted a 'Lubeman' oiler for the chain. I've measured the suspension sag and dialed in the pre-load to get proper ride height but left the damping as set at the dealers. It seems ok, so why fiddle?
That, I suspect will be the total 'fiddling' I do to her. She'll be just perfect that way.
