Hi all,
Firstly, Thanks very much to everyone that responded. I thought I'd set up an email alert to tell me when people were replying to my thread, but clearly I hadn't, so apologies for not replying sooner, as I thought I'd had not responses!!
The bike is a red oneĀ
I'll double check the gears in a bit, but I'm reasonably sure I'm in 6th gear when it maxes out. I wouldn't say the bike accelerates particularly hard in any gear (compared to other bikes I've had). Ok, so it accelerates harder than the shitty Vauxhall Nova (that thinks he's quicker than me), but so does my 1.4 Scirocco. So to answer this I would say it saunters up to 86mph, and then stops accelerating.
I've changed the wheel bearing today, and I'm just in the middle of an oil & filter change.
It's an interesting point about the restrictor kits. I've never heard of them before, so I wouldn't really know what to look for.
Are there different types, and how did I identify them?
Regards
Dalton
