It's very strange after so many years riding sportsbikes to go to a naked, but I like it. I've only done 100 miles on it admittedly but it's very agile and I enjoy the low down torque. I need to get it out a proper run, there is a few wee issues already though, the throttle is jerky as fk around town but I think that's a known characteristic and I've a leaking front brake reservoir. But the looks have even grown on me.
Is there a remap fix for the jerkiness? Birky_41 said:
Thats a good shout - appreciate the feedback and good knowledge there
I wanted the zeeltronic setup and qs but it was another grand for everything inc install and dyno setup and with my racing absorbing a lot of my funds I had to put on the back burner
If you don't need to, I can't really recommend changing the ecu for something like the Zeel........As you say, big $$ for negligible improvements...I wanted the zeeltronic setup and qs but it was another grand for everything inc install and dyno setup and with my racing absorbing a lot of my funds I had to put on the back burner

Is there a remap fix for the jerkiness? First run on the Africa Twin and the new Blade/Baby Blade arriving.

I have to admit, the novelty had worn right off with it being limited but now I can hit 10 rpm it's a different wee bike. It's brilliant. Although, the q/s isn't working, I think it's just the lever position. But for £400 odd quid for an oil change and the activation by KTM I'd expect them to have fking done it.

That’s a good looking bike,it’s on my list of potential buys.Does it ride well?
Re the handling / ride, I wouldn’t say it was “nimble” my other bike is a BMW RT and I can place that within an inch anywhere on the road, the CB is maybe a little lazy possibly due to the fork angle and the ride on the Ohlins suspension is definitely a tad too stiff for our potholed crumbling carriageways.
All the best with whatever you do buy:
