Anyone in the UK had a re-flash...?

Didn't think that would be such a common thing.

I generally use STD or B - now I'm thinking about it, I've not tried A yet! 😃

Seems to be pretty over-optimistic, according to my calcs.

What's anyone else found...? 😊

When I engage 6th gear there is a clear change in the transmission noise.

Just wondering whether mine's got poorly toleranced gears/shafts, or do they all do it...?

There's also quite a change in pitch  when pulling in and releasing the clutch in neutral... 😖

Great to read all of the replies...

The Dunlop Sportmax Qualifiers that mine came with, I'm running at 33/38 psi, which works pretty well.

May try a Qualifier II on the rear when this one wears. A bit cheaper than some of the other options but still a great tyre - great-great-great grandchild of the D207RR

I have a mate who has Angel ST's on his BMW S1000XR and rates them very highly - may give them a try in due course, but fancy trying some Bridgestones too - soooo much choice!

Amazing!

No tyre thread on this forum! 😆😉

Previous owner had just fitted Dumlop Qualifiers, which I remember as the OEM fitment on my old Street Triple some years back. Very nice tyres actually, but they are only single compound and wear moderately fast.

Are people mostly going for sport/touring rubber...?

2016 and red for me.

Took a test ride on one of the new matt black ones, which made the red one I got seem all the lovelier somehow

Ah, cheers, I'll have yet another dig through the manual for some mention of them! 😊

There are two knobs that poke up behind the windscreen on top of metal rods that disappear down at an angle behind the headlamp.

I can see them in one of the pictures in the owners manual but there is no mention of what they do - I'm intrigued!

Are they for headlamp beam adjustment...?

Sold my two previous road bikes, an F800ST and CB1000R and got myself a '16 plate one owner bike, 11k on the clock, FSH.

Very pleased so far, covered about 300 miles or so. :)
