just been able to have my first proper blast in her since the misfire was apparently sorted..
basically i changed the plugs and all seems well apart from once small moment yeasterday when pulling off she seemed to hold back and then go again..,. wierd
anyway i can have a good thrash in her now
got all tyres up to 30psi and took to the bends of a nice backroad
handled great even in icy cold conditions, so so much better than valver.
also you never have to shut off the gas and brake you can literally just cruise round every corner.
anyway on way back it was motorway time.
booted it thru gears and stuck in 4th up a long slight uncline changed at around 110mph and to my suprise 5th seemed to carry on pulling.
i remembe on the same road it was almost better to stay in 4th at this point of the road to achieve top speed cause 5th would just not pick up at all.
anyway exit the hill around 120 (still no missfire) foot to floor and i was getting between 135/140 when i saw a car ahead som i eased off incase it was pigs etc.
and thats with just a pipercross, maybe these machines are quite nippy after all!
