Have you adapted to the engine bars and place your feet differently or did you eventually remove them @KungFooBob ?KungFooBob wrote: Tue May 24, 2022 9:19 pm
Almost every time I stop at lights or a junction and put my foot down, I bang my shins on the head guards, you can't really tell from the pic above, but they stick out quite far back from the heads. I think I'll take them off and put some nice carbon covers on the rocker covers.
I'm hoping I can do the sameKungFooBob wrote: Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:51 pm I've adapted my riding accordingly, it was the cheapest option.
After a few rides of consciously remembering to keep my shins out of the way it's become almost natural.

1. It's quite quick. Saw 130mph on the Grimethorpe Bypass without even trying... I suppose on paper it makes 5bhp more than my old Fireblade!
2. It'll power wheelie in 2nd... for a teeny bit before the computer stops you. It doesn't stop you in Enduro Pro
3. Cruise control doesn't work in Enduro Pro.
4. Once you select a riding mode, you have to pull the clutch in to engage it. I should have known that really.
5. It's ridiculously planted, even at silly speeds on very bump roads. Nothing seems to tie it in knots.
6. Can anyone smell piss?
