I have no complaints about the gearchange on my ST2 at all, but I certainly wouldn't say it was better than my old 748. The 748 would snick into first quite silently, for one thing. Thus far my ST2 seems to have a smaller tank range than my 748  This wasn't what I was expecting at all, but io be fair, that's only over one tankful. I'll be monitoring the fuel consumption as the miles clock up, but I'd be hoping for better than 110 miles before the fuel light comes on, especially as I often used to manage 130+ before that happened on the 748 (with a smaller tank?). |
i was quite surprised at how smooth the gearbox felt on the st, i think some adjustment might be needed on the tie bar for the gear change on the 749 as the st also feels a hell of a lot closer aswell
as for fuel consumtion i can get a good 130 thrashing the st up to about 180 if i'm on a long cruise
i've never seen more than 95 before i get the light on the 749
