Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Took the Multi for its first run out since i had it serviced a couple of weeks ago.

Whilst being serviced they fitted a throttle upgrade advised by Ducati ( and free).

Before the bike was very quick. Now its blisteringly very quick.

Its probably now at the limit of the amount of power i would want on a road bike as its so easy to get a bit silly.

It was trying to lift the front wheel in 4th gear at xxx mph today.

If I had to have just one bike I could be tempted by a multi. It depends what the engine feels like but they're a great piece of kit.

The engine is even smoother with the new map. They are getting to the stage where they barely feel like a twin.

Tuono V4 for me if it had to be 1 bike forever...

Tuono is a close second for me, I REALLY want one of the new superdukes! had a sit on one this weekend, just feels like it fits me.... I need a pay rise haha

The 999 passed its mot with flying colours!!!

Have you had the gearbox looked over yet, Kingfixer?

No not yet, I'm a bit skint at the minute, so I only want it looking at if I can afford to fix it, struggled a couple of times to get a gear when going there and back from the mot station but not too bad.

Rode the hack to and from work as the battery was a bit on the low side and decided it needed a run out to keep.it topped up incase i get any interest in it. Got home and decided to have an evening run out and found a pub not far from me that has bike meets every Tuesday, to be fair there was a very good turn out so glad i found it, good roads around it too, they actually have a bike ahow and bbq this sunday but im out with the mrs for her bday otherwise i think id tag along to that.

You'll have to hand out some cards next time and drum up some TS business

Well after the 600rr came back from Spain it wouldn't start, and after the trip there was a few things that needed doing.
Fork seals were weeping so had them replaced and a fork service as well.
QA throttle needed, new Domino one fitted
New front and rear sprockets and chain, now -1 front and +1 rear
New HM QS, the reason why the bike wouldn't start the control box on the old one had packed up.
So put the bike bike back together tonight, just need a TD now to test her out.

I did mate, always keep some in my wallet!

Bored on the way into work so I was practising clutchless upshifts on the Versys. I doubt it was designed for the type of riding I was doing this morning

Rode the yammy into work today, so much fun! Then when I get home give the Honda a quick check over as have someone coming to view it tonight, need it gone now, family car is in desperate need of an update and had the cash there for deposit on a new one then spent half of it on the yammy on the condition Id sell the hack and make it back asap haha!

Wish the rain would sod off.

Crap photo as ive just managed to get it back together and it rained on me Again so pushed it back in the garage

Booked it on a TD at Silverstone, see how it performs with all the changes ive made, if I don't get on with it then ill sell it.

Sold it! the hack....not the MT....time to go buy a new one......with 4 wheels

Well done on the sale. Shame about the money going on a car though. Surely your bike needs bling?

It does, and I got more than I needed so that will be going on the MT, and maybe a track day for it......Was thinking of trying lydden hill, its used for supermoto, was thinking it might suit the MT

I've done Lydden half a dozen times, it's a simple track, but hard to get right every lap. It's all second and third, with a double apex that cost me a broken rib.
You'll get more track time there than at any other track I've visited, as one group goes in, the next is waved out, I was knackered every time I rode it.
