Anything nice ? I think they do lowered versions - like Ducati and others make lowering kits for their bikes.
It was a 2021 F900XR . It was tall , but manageable. More suitable for euro road trips than my 765 street triple, we will have to see . Definitely need a test ride
not sure if this counts, because it's a small bike thing i didn't do - a "squeakily" low-mileage Ugly Strada was up for sale for a while, and the seller even replied with an offer but i took my eye off the ball and of course it's gone now (today) Never mind..
I like your thinking on the thread title Chris, Today I received plenty of photos of my 900ss engine going back together
that's great news Paul, I'm beating myself up quite hard on this multi Strada, as it was a sensible thing to do "going forward "with the state of health et cetera, but that's life.
Thats a shame sounds like it was a good jump on and ride bike, Funnily enough i came across another 900 by chance a few weeks ago that I'm sure I might have got with the information I was told but its now gone,
Finally got round to fitting the Exact start cable kit on to the Mts 1260.. had a mild panic when it wouldn't start on test firing, cue check fuses, some muffled swearing, connection wiggling etc.. yep in gear with the side stand sticking out. Laughed about it through relief more than actual hilarity but all good, kicks up lovely now. Also after a chat with Sam1199 had a fiddle with the preload on the right hand fork and as expected there wasn't any.. half a turn from the factory. So dialled in some for my weight 1 turn per 15kg minus half a turn.. Oh and fitted the Speedo Angels Nano glass as recommended by some good souls on this forum. Productive session all round.
Rebuilt a 2003 R1 fuel pump for a mate which was in pretty bad shape. A few pics of the state of it... (we all like pics...) And finally.
Amazed that the dealers don't bother to set the bike up for you as its so bloody easy... So it's been running around for the last 6 years with the forks not working optimally... explains a couple of things regarding the handling that I had noticed but just thought it was a characteristic of the bike.. oh and 26psi In both tyres after a "pre sales service" tick sheet exercise. I am looking forward to riding with the new set up.
