BTW the top box is useful to compensate for the tiny under-seat storage capacity...I did think about keeping it but will stick with a rucksack as it limits what I can buy from Sainsbury's!
A few other suggestions for upgrades in order of ease of doing:
1) Look on YouTube for videos (Dave Moss is a good one) showing how to adjust the bike's ergonomics to fit you, rather than you fitting the bike. Will do straight away. Thank you for the tip.
2) Do the MT07 Clutch Actuator Arm mini modification that gives you a lighter clutch pull and longer in the friction zone: https://www.beginnerbiker.com/2019/09/fz...vy-clutch/ I saw a chap on YouTube doing this and noted it as an option - definitely on the list if I get RSI from the clutch lever/cable.
3) Install a Power Commander or similar ECU modification to smooth out the fuel delivery and stop the lag when you roll on the power after a bend. Waaaaay beyond my competance, this. If I went down this route it would be with a bigger boy holding my hand I think.
4) Put on braided brake lines for better stopping Already shopping for HEL lines, but front only. I've read that braided on the back makes the brake a little bit grabby but I am happy to listen to more experienced folk than me.
5) Swap the OEM fork springs and rear shock for a decent set of aftermarket ones (Hyperpro and YSS on mine) for a much better ride. Think I'll start with 15W fork oil first, and change the seals just as preventative maintenance whilst I am there. But if someone knows of 0.95kg rated front springs going at a decent price then I am happy to receive a PM. Seen a Shock Factory M shock for sale which will suit my weight....
Enjoy it :thumbup
Definitely going to enjoy it! Already got the rest of the top box frame off and given nooks and crannies a clean. Just gagging for the Mod 2 date to come through. Meanwhile, a CBF125 is feeling rather unloved.
