I hope you've let Perkles know or he's going to get bullied for not having the right chain and sprockets (mm)

It's alright cav, there's no chance of me changing the RSV in the best future and it's certainly not going to be painted green!

Errr well main reason i bought this bike was the power and handling ..... and the fact that I'm sure that copper singled me out last time in wales HAHAAHAH try spotting me now .... now where is that Dainese catalogue.


Back to the subject in mater adjusted the quick action throttle so its ruining the softest cam. Also updated the quickshifter and put some trial settings in there.
Conclusions so far.....
The bike is like a warp machine I opened the taps and expected the front end in the clouds nothing its just gripped and went like crazy.
The throttle is a lot better may be a little to soft but will get used to the bike and then see if I want to change it. At least I have some control and its just not closed or FULL.
The tyres are square really square and the bike still handles Its balanced and feels so effortless to get it to go were you want.
Only in the prating around phase but pleased with the quick shifter. It's slicker than the bazzaz unit and the older translogic i have. It also has a ton of adjustment so plenty to play around with.
The brakes the lever is strong and there's plenty of power there however there's a bit of a lack of initial bite for me so looking at changing to something more aggressive.

Really happy need to adjust my brain to bike speed and get those new super corsa's on that came today

Hold you think It makes any difference what bikes we turn up how gay we look. We chat on-line and meet up in random places in our leathers for ride outs and cake (you get picked on if you have curry) I'm sure that sounds pretty gay to start with ....

Rocket, get the Bendix pads for it. Great initial bite. It's the MRR you need.
