No the bike broke down with the radiator splitting. A known problem but very dissapointing to say the least.
I had my suspension set up over at Crescent Motorcycles on Saturday and that seems to have stopped it pitching me over the front, seems my front rebound and compression damping had been wound right off so the only thing doing anything on the front was the springs. The ride home felt loads better and even with the traction control kicking in there was no diving of the front to throw me forward
Just as a point of interest, Crescent only charge £35 for the suspension set up, compared to P&H charging around £100 for the same I am well chuffed, nice and friendly there too.
I am taking the bike to Brands for a trackday on the 12th April so will play more with the DTC then and try turning it off etc as well. To be honest I don't think it is really needed in dry conditions if you know how to respect the throttle, just seems a waste to spend so much money on a bike and then turn off the toys that bumped up its price in the first place lol
