I think it might have had the seat lowered a touch, wither that or its been modified in some way. Not something I would have done being longer in the leg but I really like the riding position so it can stay.
Having made a few tweaks after the last ride out, namely tightened the throttle cables to get the free play out and calibrated the throttle position sensor values on the ecu, the bike is utterly amazing now.
I cant believe a generic map on a standalone ecu can feel so good. The small amount of fluffiness at low revs must have been down to the fact that at a closed throttle the ecu thought I had a 10% throttle opening, which effectively meant it was overfueling through the lower part of the rev range. The bike is super clean and crisp now and its got impeccable manners.
Another thing. When I rebuilt the bike I set the forks 10mm through the yokes to speed up the steering, as everyone does. testing riding the bike I found the front end not to be as confidence inspiring. Before I could feel the tyre biting into the road, and just didn't get that feeling with the bike. So as part of the tweaks I pushed the forks back to the stock position. what a difference. that extra bit of pressure required on the bars really transmits the feedback to what the front end is doing. we are not weaklings, that extra bit of effort to turn the bars means the feedback through your hands is amplified.
picture from my desk this morning:
Really liking the new lights. I think I may even just leave the 900 fairing setup on there as the lights really set it off.
What I am considering doing is making a set of lower 'wings' that fit to the bottom of the side fairing panels and changes the lower lines of the fairing.
