  1. Exactly that mate.

    They tightened up my throttle cable which has made the absolute world of difference also.

    Did you notice that your motor sounded different after your first service? not sure if they have changed the mapping or something but it's definitely deeper!

    Mines also less vibey but I think that's possibly down to the forks being dropped.

  2. To be honest mate I'm a bit of a heathen when it comes to mechanical stuff and I just get on and ride so probably wouldn't notice even if something had changed.

    I did notice the throttle movement is quite short and I could easily get full throttle without double movement like most bikes I've had.

    I'm looking forward to getting out again with the brakes sorted.

  6. AMA guys in the k5 era would have extenders to the forks could actually sit above the yokes, and lift the rear similarly, with a different pivot setting and as far back as it would go rear wheel.

  15. Nope my Mrs yet again had to tell me we had played ...something strange about football at the moment I have totally lost knowledge about it all never before have not known we are playing but yes great result but still need to watch out for Brentford they have been strong for a few years now and with getting the new ground seems like strength to strength I won’t be surprised if they grab automatic promotion
