Bit hard to read, but 179BHP with the upmap and 209BHP with a proper tune. Plus a big hole in the middle.

bloke in Hinckley does dukes and has been recommended also not far from here
209 bhp is insane on a road bike

Ordered some rear sets and put my private plate on 7x 5 looks loads better
Messed with the dtc and dwc ebc settings but couldn’t tell the difference, I’m probably not really quick enough to notice these things so wont mess any further
Thinking about ordering a decent paddock stand and front axle sliders other than that can’t wait to get out on it again

Sounds like you're enjoying yourself and the new toy.

As for the suspension settings, for the road you'll just want to soften it off (particularly compression). Does yours enable you to have the separate settings for "braking support"?

Yes it’s got all that but I’m not fast enough to tell the difference I’m just going leave it as is, the bikes epic it’s got so much character I just love riding it

That's fair enough mate, the softening of compression is only to improve comfort and bump compliance. Beautiful bikes they are!!!

Took a punt and bought some Chinese rear sets, better quality than Gilles and fitted perfect,only crap things were the bolts that I’ve replaced with stainless and heal guards that I’ve replaced with some carbon fibre ones I made

115 quid a set, I'd be tempted to fill the garage.

You're probably best off using a screen shot. We can't see the page.

But you are welcome to have them FOC if they are of use to you.

You're going to Portimao? Have you been before? IMO it's the best circuit around.
