passed my full test on the 8th, went to the nabd rally on the weekend, been riding on the animal since the 12th :D

stunning bit of metal, still getting used to the steering cos it needs a fair bit of counter steering even at low speeds?

Peace

That lucks awesome mate!!! Love the exhaust.

Counter steer is basically needed at anything above about 10mph...

cheers peeps, and thanx Jeppo for that tip. :D

Im thinking about getting some further training cos im not confident at all when cornering.

Another question for the gurus.

when accelerating, not pinning it, but all the time i hear a swoosh swoosh type noise. defo not the brakes, defo form the engine. any ideas?


cheers

Its gonna be hard to diagnose on that confuddled lol

Get it up on paddock stands and spin the wheels (just make sure its not breaks). Could be the chains not adjusted properly...
Extra training never hurts, the best way to get to know your bike by far is a track day, really get to know what your bike is capable of and have a great time!!

Had it on a stand, got its butt on there last night, same with the front, and the discs are ok.

its odd how it only happens when the engine is under strain, accelerating like.

Is your chain too tight? Or not lubricated enough.

Mine gets that sound too mate and im not too bothered by it, i doubt its anything really mate.
If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.
