When I had mine, it had its "happy " period at 10,000rpm,

No weight on the wrists,

But cruising at that rate is highly illegal!

Handles and braked very well

I am only 5ft 7in,but felt I was to big for it,after about an hour, my knees agreed

Enjoy

Put up with it for a while

But use the front brake hard!

Some times I think the disc needs a firm polish

Hopefully after a few rides it will be quieter

I found some nice quality ones on ebay

Under a tenner

This is not going to be very helpful,

But all my bikes are similar

Maybe 12% higher than the correct speed

And I fit the correct tyres

Just think of being a money saving device

No nasty speeding fines

Very tempted to fit them to the 500

At present it runs on Bridgestone BT46

3.25 front and a 4.00 rear,

Can't fault them

It was latest episode, new series

Good for you

Can I suggest you completely remove the tappet screws and lock nuts,

Lol

Obviously the nuts stay on the tappets!

Get a card,8 holes

E1 to 4

I1 to4

Keep them in the same position

Keep up the good work

First

If you have R plugs,don't run resistance caps


A company called Green  has a good range, plugs and accessories

I like Denso plugs

Helicoil will sort that


No hassle, just extra work

Those small bolts are prone to stripping
