Would love to go but I'm working in Cornwall for three weeks starting on Monday. Keep it one piece !

 

all back and in one piece  :badgerrock:  :pimp: . Skip forward about 7 minutes when it got fun as it was the first session and a track car led for 2 laps https://www.youtube....h?v=Ye78spTdnQ0

Thats good, the bike sounds good for a single too ! I was a bit concerned that my old 620 duke wouldn't be quick, it stops accelerating at 90-95, but looking at your speedo it looks like I could be there.... !


900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

It got to around 105 max up and over the hill - my TRX850 was indicating around 115. It will hit an indicated 115ish (under closed road conditions of course  :pimp: ). I downgeared it to make it more usable in town as they don't like working under 3k rpm

I use LiFePo battery on another bike for 3 years.

It's some cryptic internal chinese brand, no single latin letter on it except A and V.

It rocks! Much better than any lead technology battery I used.

Never give any problems, even in winter (like -7 C).

Local guy who got my first one from China has one in his bike with right size for 900. I tested it for a week - it's perfect.

Now waiting for lifepo of same brand for my 900.

Will never look back to lead accus.
