Good to know! What Nitron shock have you got on the back of it?

I do find it a bit typically modern low emissions OEM tune around low speed - so will likely get a tune on it, thinking a Woolwich. But a bit pointless until I change the exhaust, I feel.
Just the base one they offer.

Couple from Portimao with the track just about dry, can't believe the difference in the bike now with the suspension upgrades, its took nearly 3 years to get it feeling right for me.#

Different calipers, M/C and a reflash on the cards soon.

Great pictures Jon! Glad you are starting to get on with it.

Had a nice little bimble down to the Pied Bull in Farninham yesterday. Still love riding my little yam.

Few pics from Cartagena. Rehm Racing were brilliant, would highly recommend them. Probably the fastest track day I’ve ever been on. Ryan Vickers was there testing the RAF BSB Kawasaki, and loads of German IDM racers too.

Got a new PB laptime of 1:40.1 and also got a trophy on Christmas Day too in the over 750cc class which was nice.

Good pics. What have you done to the suspension?

Which brakes are you getting too? I keep looking at GP4RXs

I really want to go for a ride at the moment but the roads are covered in salt and that greasy film they pick up in winter. Roll on March.

Fairings for my race bike are pretty much done, just waiting for the mudguard which will be orange but we ran out of paint. Also adding a yellow pinstripe here and there to tie in with my leathers and proper dzus fasteners rather than the temporary ones on there. I’m pretty chuffed with it for a simple scheme.

Track days in December?! If Carlsberg did Christmas...

Id love to do some off roading as well (or buy a new bike) but its been mild and dry enough the last few days to get the LC out to see if the refreshed forks had cured the serious judder I had past 80, which im pleased to say it has but it would appear the speedo has now packed in...

A nice little run up the North Norfolk Coast today for the annual Brass Monkey Run.

A tad chilly but good fun and nice dry roads.

That's it for the winter over here.

Oil change done on the FZ-09,



Now onto the CRF250L.



It's nice to have a bit of space now I've tidied the garage up a bit.

1.40 is proper fast George.

Stop posting elbow down photos because I'm well jell.
