Bike registered this morning, fueled up and then it was off to Port Pirie for a reasonable test ride. Lunch at Macca's (Aussie slang for MacDonalds), a little bit of shopping at K-Mart and Cole's supermarket. Bought more than we planned but managed to squeeze it all in two side cases and one top case. Return trip 219.4 kms.
http://goo.gl/maps/ihefcBike never missed a beat, throttle response......better than it has been. 60 to 110 kph fourth gear.....impressive and similar for 80 to 110 kph in 5th. Managed 50 kph in 5th gear, though I normally use 4th
Temp gauge remains constantly in the low side of the normal range.........
Heather mentioned that the bike had a rattle sound when I took it out of the back yard. Thought I fixed that.
Turns out what she heard was the ABS self test when the bike first moves off.
Hopefully my fuel average will improve over the next few fill ups.
