I don't ride on motorways but was out for 8hrs on Sunday with very few stops to get my miles up and my old body coped.
I stuck with the Termi’s they were on the original, cancelled order I picked up after Chris found it going. But weighing up the power gain against usage in built up areas, I don’t think I’d go with them if I had a second go at it. Riding partners have remarked that it can be pretty quiet if you just keep it sub 5k (in any mode). I know everyone likes to leave bikes in Sport Mode but I don’t think that’s a good idea with this bike, given the nature & overcrowded island we live on. Ok if you aren’t going to hit any situations for a while but if you do, this thing won’t drop the revs & go all nicey nicey for you
Understandable if the bike came with the termi's. Has it got the ECU and filter as well? I've not ridden in anything but sport mode but haven't gone past 6k yet so that may change.
The ECU gets flashed to take into account the changes to the emissions sensors & the different fueling because of the open lid air box etc. I don’t know enough about the changed parameters but all seems ok this end. It certainly is a fun bike - especially over 7k!
I'd imagine as the full termi system is not road legal they don't have to comply with euro5 or cater for the cat so they can fuel the bike properly.
Some exciting news. My son has bought an ultra low mileage March ‘24 RVE complete with full Termi system - and he wants to store it in my garage. We happen to be on eachother’s insurance. Result.
A very quick question for owners. What is the diameter of the rear spindle, please? I have a single-sided R&G paddock stand left over from my SfV4S and would like to use that. I imagine it’s spindle pin @ 40.66mm is way too large. Thanks in advance.
You may be if distance is in your mind on tortuous motorways, maybe a twin hypermotard would be a better option. Although I found it comfortable on my day on one, put 230 miles on the test bike. However I’m hardened to discomfort as I a GasGas.
