The box section is straight and true as I checked with a straight edge before purchasing and yes as St Marks rightly says the threaded bar is not over tightened which would create a bend in the box section.

There accurate and I'm happy with them not a lot more to say than that really.

My rsv4 runs a 200 rear, i thought it was a 190 until i went to change it lol.

Cant say i noticed it... just handles fantastic. I think the earlier RSVs actually used a 190.

The wife bought me one of these for my birthday and despit the 'hipster' marketing I have to say its a top piece of kit. I never find a rucksack very comfortable on the 748 but the Kriega waist bag i have is not big enough to carry waterproofs, wallet, phone and bottle ...

Cheers Monty very nice of you to say so

11 years old now and still looking good Personal I know but one of the best looking bikes ever imo.

i would say a wider rear tyre will increase stability due to the extra width

I'd say very unlikely Blade, that would increase the piston speed and potentially reduce the RPM. Plus it's exactly the opposite of what they've done with the 1299.

Don't say that to loudly blade she might hear that and think things!! [emoji1]

Well I know a lot of people say in line 4's are boring but they want to get on a zx10r is all I can say. Just got back from a quick evening blast and I'm still buzzing the bike is alive with character. The thing has completely addictive ...

Well was planning a quick blast after tea as was a good forecast but just got back from football and it's spitting rain.

Not sure whether to sit it out and see if it improves or just say fook it and crack a beer.

Say it was an accident

... got it. It came with a 5 year warranty and in the 5 years it had a new motherboard, hard drive, WIFI card, two DVD drives and a screen. Have to say the service was great, you phone up and they send an engineer next day with the part to either you home or work address.

I've just downloaded windows 10. I gotta say I hate apple stuff. Just can't use it as I'm not used to it. And have no intention of ever wanting to. I fiond windows does everthing I need, as a regular user. I'd be very wary of Windows 10, there's ...

... but occasionally we all want to ride alone or with the lads and it can get difficult having that shared interest as she can be offended if you say she's not invited! Plus if they ride they hate pillion regardless of circumstance :)

Wifey used to come out on the bike years ago, but died off after we got we'd... Went out about 18 months ago and bought her a load of new gear; she's not even been out on the bike in them...

She does say she sees it as my thing and quite happy for me go out on my lonesome...

It's not hard Kwacky, all I'd say based my experience is (1) know if you're changing the fuel tank ahead of time (sounds like it) check with a Tech or owner of the same bike if you need a fuel pump seal or if it'll go again, (2) take lots ...

It was me and Cookiemonster who did the off road day.

I'm looking to plan a small group ride out through France in June next year so subject to what the others say I'm hoping to stop by and do another off road day with you and hopefully stop over for a night.
