Re: Cookie's Street Triple 765 R
Righto - back from service. Spent 2hrs getting back home :D They checked the chain tension - spot on, so it was loose. It was better on the way to service, so probably loose from factory. The bike just got even better - being able to rev it higher and leave it high into corners is the way with this ...

Rode it like I stole it to the dealers. There is nothing like time pressure to focus you as road to dealers closed 20kms away . got to be there by 9.

Re: Luggage options for the KTM
Have a look at the Ventura racks - it was the only way on the RC8. Great pieces of kit and you can pick off the components on eBay gradually - cost me about 70 all in.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Had a prick in a Porsche convertible hunt me down on the motorway for daring to undertake him. Him and about 5 cars all in the outside lane, waiting for the car in front to get out of their way. I sail by and carry on as normal. I don't do silly speeds on the motorway, too many unmarked cars about,...

Don't have the chain too tight, these prefer a bit of slack.
To be honest i didn't check it when i first got it, so it may have been like that all the time.

Re: Cookie's Street Triple 765 R
Yes i had around 5cm of slack where the manual states 2-3cm preferred. It's going in on Friday so i will ask them to check it just in case.Kwacky wrote:Really? Very little stretch on my 675.

Re: Cookie's Street Triple 765 R
Chain tension sorted over the weekend - it's surprising how much a new chain stretches. Much better now.
I've also sorted the first service for first thing on Friday so i'll be taking a VERY long way home

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
So we take it you're not missing the RSV? Only on dual carriage ways when you want to get a wriggle on. I miss the fairing. Apart from that, nope. It was a good relationship with the RSV, we did a lot together, but the time to change was right. Same with the RC8 - i miss the power but only onto lon...

Re: Klim clothes - Klim Kodiak Jacket
Very expensive, but if it's going to keep you dry and guarantee that it's probably worth it.
How long do you expect it to last / whats the guarantee.
It does look nice.
