Limited Gets It's First Run
Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 12:23 pm
Nice to finally get out and about, first class job from the DVLA, registration took less than a week!
Carbs still not arrived from Allens, but the misfire is in a narrow band 2400 - 2600rpm and not so bad when hot.
The ride quality is better than expected although pot holes are best avoided! spot on riding position - the new saddle is very comfortable.
Handling is a tad unique - the high bars will take a bit of getting used to, low speed is very good, however turn in at speed under power is somewhat interesting.
The V&H pipe sounds so much better than the Jardine pipes, the motor makes good power with much more torque than expected.
Still got cramp in the fingers from the brakes - they work very well and are bedding in nicely - but require much hand pressure.
Thankfully the wife loves it...... but doesn't have a bike licence
Many thanks go to the forum for the inspiration and the brilliant knowledge base, I think I must have come close to wearing out the search button.
Special thanks go to: Mikey - Zpower - Reproduction Decals - Al Marshall - Steve Smethurst - Corby Kawasaki - CMSL Holland - Banbury Powder Coating - Gremlin Racetech - Automotive Services Northampton - Z1 Enterprises - Beezees - Hagon - Moto Forza Italia - Debbens - Custom Fasteners - the bloke in the states who sent me the switch covers - and most importantly - the wife.
