What other things can I do to improve the ride from cheap to expensive?
What I meant was:What things, ranging from cheap to expensive, can I do to this magnificent piece of exemplary engineering?
R6 rear shock, balance the carbs, read A Twist of the Wrist and work on getting faster/smoother etc. All of these will keep it interesting
MT10?
So my plan to wait didn't quite pan out as I thought it would.
