Re: Midlands worshop day 2012 - 21st July

Re: Midlands worshop day 2012 - 21st July

I'll be a provisional yes just to see why my bike isn't making the power it should be. I''ll be finishing nights so I'll try and get away early.

As for anything else, well I'd rather try and find out why my bike doesn't scare me in the way it should.
It's black by the way. Thanks

Lacking power above 5500 rpm

Hi, 1st post here, been a lurker just trying to learn about my bike. I bought it 2 summers ago after a 10 yr break from biking from eBay. Test ride was ok etc, having been away never really gave it proper beans, but I was happy and the deal was done. My brother in law has a TL1000s in his bike ...
