steve p 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Managed to get 130 dry sunny miles in yesterday so well on the way to getting this new engine run in or at least nearer the 600 mile service. Was slightly concerned with the handling as the whole bike would dive into corners suddenly and was noticeable on the first few roundabouts where it would lean nicely then tip in and dive giving a few panty moments This could be due to the flattened off state of the rear tyre from the few wet miles i did manage last year and being a 55 profile they do flatten off easy. Need to do some track days to even the wear out a bit. I have also lost nearly 2 stones since last year so the K-tech internals that were tuned to my old weight are probably all wrong for me now so some more fiddling to do, again a track day with a suspension specialist there is well worth the money as i haven't got a scooby what nobs for what Towards the end of yesterdays ride things had calmed down a bit so some of the problem could have been workshop crap on the tyres. Took this picture along the B6047 six miles from melton Mowbray a great road once but badly potholed now and well patroledhttps://servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=8&u=18129577 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
