The night before the day after

[100milesaway]

Yo Kev, no problem standing me up Swine.        No really Im just glad you are happy. Did you have the screen up or down?, sometimes if it's too far up it can have the effect that you mention. I have mine right down, coz I want to feel like I am riding a motor bike. Any how Roger turned up at the bridge plus a few more of my mates so no problem, lots of folk to chin wag too.                     Did you use the ECO mode ?.                 Glad that you are pleased with the bike , it will get much better when the weather is better and you are more used to it. Enjoy it

Not a pretty sight

Ya cheeky git, they are all clean..... I only got back from scrubbing them down at the river and putting everything through the  mangle at 9O'Clock ths morning 

Good to see you today at the Bridge...I enjoyed the chat

Glad you got sorted Kev, and sorry you weren't able to make it to the Bridge today, there'll be plenty other opportunities, and Geoff and I had a good chin wag

Phew! finally home safe and well, a bit cold, so running a bath to get warmed up. Im in no rush to go back outside so the bikes gonna have to stay dirty for a day. Geoff, the ECO mode was on, it was just like that when i was riding part throttle, i dont know yet how to set it ON or OFF.

Had a flappy arse cheek moment when coming up the A1 past Darlo/Newton Aycliffe cos we ended up riding thru a blizzard! Lucky thou as it didnt last too long but the A1 was starting to cover.



We had a quick stop again at Kirkby Stephen but needed to get back incase the weather turned


Heres me having a Red Bull moment, i have been up since 5am you know

To turn ECO mode on (or off again) you have to press and hold the display change button down for about a second. Once it is on you will see the ECO icon - not just the three rings on the dash. The rings always come on when your fuel consumption is low (i.e. half throttle or less) regardless if ECO mode is turned on or not. By default ECO mode is turned off when you start the bike so unless you turned it on it was probably not on at all.

Thanks for that. Ill check it out tomorrow, for today, im all biked out! 300 mile round trip out in the cold, minus 1 at times, isnt ideal but im glad i got her bought and back home. Now im chilling, big time!

First opinions thou, fast, smooth, stable, lovely to ride and sounds amazing! the Vees twin engine can be jerky off the throttle so it really nice compared.

Thanks all for the posts and thanks for making me feel welcome. I will officially introduce myself once i get my bearings

I am very pleased for you ... enjoy.
