| Low speed control (plus MPG)
Afternoon all, just picked a 1098 standard up this morning and my first impessions are that it is cmpletely differentr to anything i have ever ridden before.
When you get above 3k rpm all is fine and dandy but rolling around built up areas is very peculiar compared to the CBR600rr which I had previously. The 600 would happily, almost coast, on tickover and would be really easy to deal with at low speeds.
The 1098 is a different matter entirely. Im finding it really difficult to deal with such low speeds, the bike seems to want to stall and finding the correct gear too seems tricky - im either too low or too high. ive only ridden her in cold weather (hands were freezing) for an hour or so and it will take some getting used to but what would be the best way of dealing with this.
Also, what MPGs do you get. Full tank and had about 75 miles from it, not hammering at all.
Cheers
