first drive

Since taken out the x flow and had problems with the Yamaha and going to zx9 took it out today short run around the estate and surrounding area a lot smoother than x flow but a lot quicker.
Melted my carbon look a like. Stone guard so need to get alloy ones.
End result grinning like an idot.





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Gear box would only get neutral and first. Chuffed to bits can't put into words how good out was.

Was a bit worried as people mention about the clutch pedal but it is the same as a car engine car, better than the x flow.

You mean you ran out of road, not that you couldn't have actually gone up the box?

It's down to leverage and pivot points, sounds like you got it right first time

It was the Yamaha box which was knackerd, but your right you run out of road very quick.
Yep cant find the words for it, cant wait to get back out, little leak on the sump, found a few drips, need to nip it up and my bloody speedo and rev counter has gone off.
