Dunno, my french isn't too hot and the mrs didn't even know what we were on about, but from the jist of it it sounds like what they do on a triumph speed triple, where i think the basically interfere with the throttle cable wrapping it around a bigger drum so that it changes the rate and amount it can be adjusted, basically lopping off the last few degrees of twist on the throttle, but that could all just be bllx, i'll let you know when i get it if i can see whatss going on, in comparison to stuff in the techno pdf thingamybob,

collecting 2pm monday! going to sweat my ass from one petrol stop to the next to get 1st service in asap

Welcome LeDuke

My tank ran dry at 98 miles, that's 155km so it meant looking for petrol about every 70/80 miles to be on the safe side. The only resolution for me was to get the carbon tank, it holds a little bit more but at least now I can do around 90 miles before worrying about landing for more fuel.

I'm doing a trip around Normandy at the end of July and I'm looking forward to the French "twisties".

You won't be dissapointed with the SD Dude, I used to ride my R6 fast and hard and the SD knocks spots off it

this is one bad mother of a bike, 100Kms and I love it already, i made the error of thinking it was going to rain this morning and had to ride all the way home in thermal waterproof jacket, and goat feet gloves in 30º heat.

It's all good though, sun, twisty tarmac, and my mrs following in the support wagon ready with petrol money after dropping me off at the KTM shop.

Joy....
