Hmmmnnn last ride before 1st service.

Post by Beamish »

The first 390 miles have flown by and after tommorrows ride out I will be past the 600 service interval :eek2 . Oh well then the fun really starts :twisted: The 48 miles to the gallon that I am acheiving at the mo will then become a dim and distant memory :lol:
God I love this bike!!

It'll wear off.

Odds are that by the time the 1st MOT comes up you'll have to swap back to the original quiet pipes before it'll pass.

So how long do the CCT's last on those, Beamish?

Any little rattles yet? :D
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

No point in swapping to a loud pipe on this bike, I love the looks of the original (plus the little noise valve opens at 4K giving a lovely rasp). CCTs! ....Who cares until 2 years time after the warranty runs out :D

If the CCT's last that long I'll have to see if they fit a Storm!

Let our boingy, bouncing garlic munching cousins touch my Blade! :eek2 You must be mad. :lol: They are not allowed motorbikes with such vast BHP figures, it would blow their
minds!
