Nope won't do that for the time being. Thinking about changing the suspension though.

7 ltr tank!? 100 miles!! That's some impressive MPG.

I need to get mine reaped currently getting 70-80 miles out of a tank (17.5 ltr tank).

All went to shit after fitting the race system! The ECU was remapped by Triumph following fitment (arrow lowboy map) but TBH i think this might have made matters worse.

I've now managed to get hold of a Power Commander, so come payday I'll fit it and get the thing dyno tuned. Luckily GT Motorcycles are just around the corner from me and their man Stave A'lee is a dyno master!

Dunno yet. Early days need some more km and do some research.

I reckon i get 80mpg

Although today i cycled and ate a £2 flapjack so probably more fuel than the bike needs and i'm still knackered

I drove yesterday as did a site visit. What a ballache.

I can't stand driving to work anymore. Cycling (or the motorbike if I'm feeling lazy) is by far quicker than sitting in traffic!

I don't get why people would rather waste their lives going nowhere than get a CBT and a bike or pushbike.
