Thanks all. Well I past first time at Burton this morning. Horrible weather! Thought I’d messed up a few times. Stalled once doing the angled start behind a parked car, and the front wheel slipped on a man hole cover, but rescued that without breaking my leg. It’s also true what most have said about the examiners not being tyrants! I had an indicator error at a roundabout. He said should have been a major, but as there were no cars around……
3 minors in the end!
Yes Boi.

Congratulations, well done.3 minors in the end!
I've done my test in Burton but had a mixed experience with the examiners. One was an absolute t#$t, the other one was the opposite.

Hi the drop link lowering is new to me. Will you need to also adjust the front shocks to align properly (as described on this installation instruction) ?
Yes, although I'm not sure whoever fitted this did the right changes to the front shocks. I've done a quick check with a tape measure and mine were only 1-2mm off from factory, which isn't as much as it's supposed to be when lowered (can't remember the exact figures).Regardless, I'll rectify it back to factory spec when I get the chance, but the handling and feel of the bike was much improved after fitting the OEM drop links. Was a good excuse to give all the bearings a good grease as well.
