Forums 🚦 RIDERS LOUNGE 😃 General Chat Hi from leeds Reply To: Hi from leeds
Hi Leo, Hope you enjoy your bike, I have one the same and love it. I’ve changed the tyres for rubber ones( much lighter too!), a max torque can(again lighter)as the original is really heavy. I also changed the plugs for iridium ones , coil packs, leads and caps(all from Marcels website) and she runs much sweeter. A 520 chain and sprocket set is also good as is the upgraded fuel lines and bigger filter set also from Marcel. Motul ester oil will also keep your engine and gearbox sweet. I’ve also fitter a rear hugger and front fender extender to keep her clean. I find the engine needs warming up gently for the first few miles on choke before using more revs. I bought mine new in 2019 and 6yrs and 6000 miles later she runs better than ever. The swingarm and all the frame has been regularly coated with ACF 50 as these parts can corrode over time(especially if you ride in the wet or over winter). I hope this helps you Leo.
All the Best, Dave.
