Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Ordered a lithium battery tracker from Antigravity batteries (folks who made the 12-cell Li battery I am using). I had some odd electrical issues over the years (notably batteries going flat, the bike cutting out in the rain). So I replaced the entire wiring harness a couple of years back and all ha...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Went to the dealer to have a new Road 5 rear tire installed, had them put the original flywheel in (to replace the lightened (-2.6 lb) version I had been running). Why the change? The engine was perhaps a bit too lively for the street ( I was also concerned about the omni-present "chugging"...

It is clear that Ace has absolutely no idea what integrity and ethics means to the Japanese people. I value my reputation in Japan that has been built up over forty years and I am the UK ...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Thanks, Pete. Today I dyno'd the Tuono to check fuelling, it's running rich, and only just getting over 160 bhp. Some work needed.... Also, the brake pad recall has been checked, it will get new pads under warranty. Lastly, the front tyre has been lose a little pressure every day- they will replace...
