drake Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 O.K my thoughts on the reeds. Firstly conditions yesterday were terrible, so not a good assesment, just my initial thoughts. Couldn't really tell how they were off the bottom as grip was non existant yesterday, but what i did find is the bike appears a LOT more powerfull up top. In fact the bloody thing caught me out a few times, and I managed to snap my front mudguard, when the bloody thing launched me skyward ( nothing whatsoever to do with rider error it was all the bikes fault honestly) I shall see how it goes over the next couple of weeks and see what I think then?

copemech Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 As stated! Try riding in second gear using the clutch to feel for traction, reguardless of rpm. They do still seem to have a pretty good midrange hit that you can learn to use to advantage when needed. If it is still too quick for you, might back off the timing just a bit.

drake Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Not really that much of a negative really, it's just the bike caught me out which it hasn't done for a while. Conditions were pretty bad on the weekend, so will have a better idea after this weekend, when I get to ride it on some familiar territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drake Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just an update. Have to say the bike is now buttery smooth on the bottom. Boyesens have made the bike , going to go with better as I can't quite think of the correct word. So better it is. Now how can I get the weight down to that of a 125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
