After my 1/2hr chat with the parts bloke in Rider's (Bristol) last week, I'll go there every time now as it's only 15 mins ride. I now agree with what Nelly's been saying for ages - use your local dealer.
Got this rather sparse email this morning, 10 days after my order. I was rather firm in my reply about how crap their service is at present ...and I can't ride the bike for probably another 10 days...
Nothing, gritters were out in our area last night, so now I think I'm one of only a few hoping for rain in the near future
i soooo agree - first time (on any of the 848/1098 related bikes) i worked on rear end, i was so convinced that i had a "prototype" that i phoned Neil at Cornerspeed for advice. It really is craaazy to think that this is how they came as standard. i still believe that this "task" was given to University di Bologna students...
Finally rode the bloody thing. The roads were shit, potholes, flooding, crap everywhere, but boy did it feel good to be out, finally.
Now I'm less young, I set up the reminders to be emailed/ texted automatically by DVLA at 30 days out
Another 100 odd miles today on the new V2 with a breakfast stop in Battle. A slight difference in handle bar height and riding position compared to my SL.
I used a multi V4 the other day while my SS was in for a service, the Multi is a bolt upright riding position, a bit odd to start with but got used to it. Cracking bike but £20K? Got back on my SS, it felt like a 125
