When they arrive in a packing case is the test wheel on place?
If not it might be down to the PDI assembly.
Can't see it makes any difference TBH.🤔🤔🤔

That's a great view Hubert,
I was round there last year and it always feels very special, almost regardless of the weather as long as you have the right kit. My favourite is the Mam Ratagan pass.  Although I had a few 'Wings, I never had an 1100 but the odd ones I rode did seem more cumbersome than the others - the 1500 felt like more of a sports bike in comparison!

I've had a KZ Wing, Ian and both these are good handlers never ridden the 1500, it's the bulk that's put me off...the sheet size of it...my 1100 handles quite well with the Hagon Nitros at the back and Hagon fork springs at the front and bt45's...well enough for me anyway...you're right it's lovely up there, I was surprised that all the hotels up there want £130 plus per night b&b! Cheapskate me makes it there and back for the last ferry

Originally in the book it was D7ES which wasn't a particular good plug. Dealers in Holland considered it OK for the break-in period, but advised later to use newcomer D8ES-L if you would ride the highways. The D8ES probably would have been to cold. You may say the D8ES-L with its tip that protruded just a tiny bit further, was in between the 7 and 8. Also Honda France advised them for the CB500/550 and called them auto-nettoyante (selfcleaning). BTW, the D8ES-L was/is used on a wide variety of bikes. I had them in my CB500 on all my travels in Europe, often at maintained high speeds. I wouldn't have felt comfortable with the 7, not when you, what happened more than once, were late to switch to reserve... So it depends on your riding, but if the D8EA is the new name for the D8ES-L, it's a good choice. If you don't cruise over 5000 rpm, you may consider the 7EA.

Actually, I run Denso x24ea-u

I believe that the are equivalent to  the D 8ea

A d7ea is normal for the 500

The 8s are for 400,750 etc
