I got my lights rewired on the first service,it turns out its a stupid
Australian ADR ruling .. although it only seems to apply to bikes that dont
have the headlight hardwired on, as some freinds with bikes like the R1 etc
have both lights on but have no switch to turn them off...it's much better
with both on !!
I was wondering if anyone else had the problem with the front brake travel
? mine on setting one, the firmest setting still has about half an inch
free play before the brakes actually start to do anything, so braking from
200kmh plus I start to squash my little finger between the lever and the
handlebar (two finger braking! ) does anyone know if this is just the norm
or do I have a problem ? or is there some other adjustment besides the 4
position dial on the lever ?
thanx in advance BOB !
