Huzzah! I have my bike back again
Ok, with the new engine and downpipes, plus shipping and fitting, it's cost me almost £1200
but it's amazing what you get used to, because it now feels completely different.
The new engine runs sweetly, the throttle is less choppy, the clutch smoother and whilst it was great to ride before, it now feels fabulous
About the only niggle is that I keep the front end of the foot gearshift set low, but the workshop put it back at a much higher level, meaning I had to literally lift my foot off the peg in order to change up!
But a couple of minutes with a spanner fixed that, now I'm going to take it out tomorrow for a proper check ride...
