The front sprocket nut and washer saga

I had my previous one up to at least 88 mph just to see if anything would happen  :lol

Hope the test run goes ok and that you don't experience any problems, Deadeye.  Confusedun

I wouldn't be a speed merchant myself these days, but I think I had it over 100+mph on 3 occasions so far. The first was after I bought the bike in November. I took her out very early on a quite morning with no cops about to test that she was running ok across the whole rev and gear range. Think I backed her off around 125mph when I was satified that she was doing the biz. The second time was a test like the first after I devolped a problem with power delivery which turned out to be a dodgy back brake system. The last time was on the motorway recently overtaking a car at 80mph and left her roll on to a 100mph for a few seconds to put a bit of distance between me and the cager. Other than that, I drive handy enuff with the knowledge if I do need to push the lad on, that she has plenty under the tank to do the biz.
