Funnily it works other way as well.Very twisted sports bike roads around here. A group of blokes fit sticky tyres to trail bikes, Teneres etc, Just to upset the mega dollar Ducati, MV,Aprillia riders who come here to prove their multi dollar outlay. I think the trail bikes often win in the corners, tight roads etc. Apparently the Dainese leathers get quite upset.  :laugh:


I did that with my DR650. Had some motard rims laced to my hubs, wrapped em in Diablo Corsas and took to the twisties hunting sportsbikes.

The butthurt rage pouring off these guys after being overtaken on the outside of a corner by a single cylinder two wheeled tractor was only worsened when I'd do the same trick on the inside line.  :rofl2: Especially when I'd dig up a P plate to really piss them off!

October? In the UK, earliest date for delivery of a 900 is November/December at present and that's if you order now
Yes, I know, in UK line is longer.
But also a demand is higer. I guess, in Estonia, not more then 15 T900 will be sold in total during 2020. Also, I think, there is different sales regions.
Sales manager here estimate October, because I'm not really interested getting new bike before just riding season ends, so we were discussing next spring.
But I could ask exact dates, if I would order now, when I would get soonest.

I couldn't say as a gentleman, but I got home late on friday & saturday was a mini rally/BBQ at hers, three tents in her garden etc.

Your roundabouts Hooli, must have less oil/diesel spills than ours. Treacherous places.

Some are, some aren't. I trust that one as I use it regularly & it's never had a spill yet. Plus the main road is shut a few miles up the road so the vast majority of trucks don't use that exit currently.

Did you check her Tare Weight to see if the preload needed adjusting ?  :stir:

Not a lot & I can't.

I've got XgayR fake Ohlins on te back & I run them at max preload all the time as they are too soft.

Got an OEM seat off EBay with what I think is an awesome cover, anyone else got one like this?

Also a pair of silencers which needed a good long polish but have come up great, no scratches or dents. Going to modify as per the forum tech tip to increase the sound.

Great find & buy!  Good luck with the muffler mod, it's a bit harder than it reads . . .

I have been worried about that since the beginning. So Col what is the nasty side of things😳

Breaking the internal weld closest to the collector end.  There just isn't a lot of room to get any purchase on it.

Speedy did it (almost) he had to take the can to an exhaust repair mate to get the last bit out, then he finished off the job.  I think there have been a couple of others that it's gone quite straight forward though. Guess it just depends on how good the weld is in there.
