First tank of fuel and the light came on at 58mls !!!, a big tank is a must then but the rest of the bike is just awesome, wheelies are easily picked up in 2nd and 3rd on the flat or 4th/5th over small bumps, rest of bike as fantastic as the engine ! So thanks to Dave at JHP for sorting one out so quick top service  | |

Found out the TC cuts the ignition and fuel when the front wheel stops spinning at 110mph in 3rd resulting in an instant drop of the front wheel from balance point, safety feature my arse LOL, lesson learned leave TC off for the big wheelies. Next up a bigger tank, taller screen, higher bars and if Nelly lets me multistrada panniers....1198St  | |
