The tank looks a different shade to the fairing.

Absolutely love it.

Took a bit of getting used to. It's very different to what I'm used to. It never really moves about much, it's just smooth, which is odd after the R6! Gearing took a bit of getting my head round - using 1-5 rather than 2-6. Spent most of yesterday getting the suspension set up, then slowly built up the pace today. A few 1:45s which I'm pleased with considering the rear tyre was fked.

Can't wait to race on it! biggrin

PMSL I used to hang something shiney off the back of the bike like a new phone/necklace etc to distract her. Open the doors of the van and her eyes went straight to the shiney stuff. Couple of weeks/months later the penny drops and she's not 100% sure if I've had her over or not biggrin

What size sprockets are you using?

Front and rear

Are you reusing sprocket bolts or several carriers

I don't know why but I love Nortons and that's probably the nicest one I've seen.

I'll own one one day.

16-49. I have a spreadsheet for all UK circuits though if you want that. However, there has been a mod done to my gearbox to mean it is extremely difficult to find neutral, it's a pain in the arse everywhere but on the circuit. I'd be a bit wary running 1st-5th without it as could easily hit neutral.

If you're referring to Ohlins fork springs then yes that's me

Cheers mate.

I've been on motorbikes since I was nine, passed my test almost twenty years ago, had a list of sports bikes and commute daily on one but can honestly say I've never been so into my riding since I found enduro. It's just a great day out.
