Enjoying the K1

(1/2) > >>

UK Pete:
I have been taking every opportunity to ride my K1 lately as i really enjoy riding it, the sound from the exhausts is the dogs boll--ks
i am getting about 90 miles to a tenner of petrol , is that about right for these bikes, also what length should the rear shocks be, the reason i ask is the bike is really hard to get on the center stand , and also Yoshi mentioned they looked like 550 shocks .

Hi Pete,

I get around 48 - 52 mpg usually. Or approx 11 miles per litre for the youngsters out there, so I reckon 90 miles to a tenners worth is about right.

Rear shocks are DEFINATELY correct - they are the opriginal type with the black plastic cover around the damper up inside the spring.

They can be a bit of a heave onto the mainstand, but its just a case of three shredded wheat in a morning (or some spinach) I'm afraid.

Wish the weather up here in Yorkshire was fit to get out on the bike. What's happened to all that bloody global warming we are supposed to be "suffering" from!!!

Keep on enjoying it Pete - Chris R.

Spitfire:
Just keep on enjoying it, I've never checked my MPG but the plugs are a nice colour and the bike goes nice

Cheers
