t2boats Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It was oringally green and gold, found out Suzuki UK only had 500 of them in that colour scheme shipped in. I've still got the original green tank and body bits, bought another tank, front Mud guard and fairings (body, whatever it's called lol) and prepped me for spraying mat black. It's going to go Gloss Black over winter hopefully! It's got Barnett springs in it, two of em. I only changed the clutch in March this year. The original was slipping a bit, so out went the old and in went the new. Even with two springs in I can't notice any difference in the feel of the lever, still nice n plush, easy to operate.

t2boats Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The camshafts had been changed, so that coupled with the stage-3 dynojet kit, timing advance, denso iridium plugs, full exhaust n cone filters, and the head ported and polished. And there's a clear difference riding it using Shell & Esso superunleaded as opposed to normal unleaded... Not sure how much all that cost to do, but it's easy enough I guess, cams being trickiest! I abolutely love it, it's a pleasure to ride and really responsive, and is quite happy pootling around at slow speeds too, no jerkyness at all, surprisingly smooth and not lumpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It's definitely the way to go! And with the big bore kit it'll really make a difference.

t2boats Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 @evssv liking those heated gloves!! Do they plug into a 12v socket? Well I made it home, took 6hrs in the end, mental traffic. Was cold from Blackpool down towards Wrexham, then it went noticeably freezing cold after that Got to Aberystwyth on the coast and it started snowing ha! Never seen snow on that coast road before in my life.. snowing along the coast for another 20miles, roads were still ok though. Just a few patches in the middle where it was beginning to stick. The Diamond Cut tyres really did come into their own! After so long I have to turn off the coast road to head south again and go over the Presseli Mountains and down into where I live, it really was coming down thick n fast then. Compact snow on the roads!! WOOHOO!!! I stopped on the top and it was so peaceful, no wind, snow coming down hard, was nice I was so impressed with the bike, managing to climb up on hard snow. Kept it in a higher gear, barely touching the throttle and it trundled up. Then a low gear and slight rear brake every now n then when going down on the other side! Great fun. dreading to see the state of the bike this morning when the sun comes up lol Billy will need a dam good cleaning today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Woke up to this weird looking white stuff falling out of the sky , its highly annoying as i not long cleaned my scoot ............ Oh wait just been informed it is that rare stuff called snow that can sometimes fall in east anglia lol . annoying point is , 12" wheels on slippery snowed roads aint a nice feeling , worse when your still breaking in a full set of new tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissT Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We just had a brief flurry of snow, but worse than that it's salty on the roads. I'm not riding on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
