  1. @texscottyd...some great photos and nice to see the Bionic man got a state park named after him. Great tv memories. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘
  2. I wouldn't delay the 600 mile change. Get some fresh in. πŸ‘
  3. If it suits your riding style and doesn't cause any mechanical concerns, all good. Other's are possibly concerned you could be stressing the motor or clutch. For riding on twisties, I run bike in mid 6/7 ish range so rolling off throttle gives a very controlled braking for next corners. Others also rightly suggest these cp3 motors do enjoy high revs, redline 11k ish. So, what I'm getting at is, maybe the cp3 engine isn't ideally suited to your riding style or intentions. But if you're happy, that's all that matters. It's a cracking do it all bike. πŸ‘
  4. It does sound like you and your bike have been having some problems. Hope it works out for you.
  5. I like to give mine a good ringing...keep the engine sweet. πŸ‘
  6. I use two types of pillion seat bags, waterproof touring/long trip Rollbags or sunny day easy access bags. Having both is nice. For touring I use Givi or Lomo rollbags and the Held for easy access day trips.
  7. Welcome back Wordy...and I also think they are a cracking bike. Did you try the 700 ?
  8. I got one like this, fit's perfect on pillion seat and looks good on bike, quick on/off. It does make climbing on the bike a bit harder if the joints ain't what they used to be. Tankbag fit's well. Held Iconic GT Rear Bag Black - L 15-21 Litre. 1 External Pocket. We will accept your request at our...
  9. You should be good for 130+ now. πŸ‘
  10. Just for interest....what revs are you reading at 60mph in 6th gear. ?
  11. Just got back from 3 day trip. Taking in England/Scotland border. Hadrians wall and a Spitfire in someone's front garden. Kielder and Ribblehead viaduct. Great bit of northern England that many bypass.
  12. Faulty pump. The filler holes allow for nozzle insertion and full tank guide.
  13. 18 litre tank is 4 uk gallons . I've had flashy light come on at say 180 miles, filled up and only got 14/15 litres in. So maybe they will go 240 miles to run out., if they run to empty that is. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  14. For UK folk, M and P are still doing these for Β£95 a pair. I've put about 500 miles on first pair and their Great, been on wet and dry and a trackday with no dramas. Bought 2nd set.πŸ‘ Supermaxx ST2 120/70ZR17 & 180/55ZR17 Tyre Pair | M&P Direct
  15. You really don't want your centre stand scraping too much, takes weight off back end.
  16. Didn't they invite you to join them in the tent for the night. πŸ˜‰ Stunning pic's. Fantastic. πŸ‘
  17. Last fill up i put in 14.3 litres. Tank holds 18 litres. I'd done 182 miles. Yep I reckon they will do 200 comfortably ly. πŸ‘
  18. You need a 15 amp under the seat coz that 2 amp up front is a complete waste of time.
  19. Yep, remove pillion footrests and a seat cowl should be enough to convince them, no pillions allowed. πŸ‘
