Quick update on my T

Just thought I'd post a quick update on where I am with my bike and what if any difference any of the modifications have made.
It came with the Akro's, map 2 and a 15T front sprocket.
First thing on the list was a pair of new tyres so I went for Metzler M5's in 190/55 on the rear.
Excellent tyre plenty of grip in the dry and wet, more than up for road riding not sure they're up to a full blown trackday though but all in all a great road tyre and when they're up for changing I'll be putting them on again.
Next up was the rear shock, having had the suspension set up it was a vast improvement but that back end was just not supple enough and coming off GSXRs it felt really harsh and didn't ride the bumps at all well.
Resolution was a second hand RSV shock from good old eBay fitted that and had it set up.
What can I say much much better the back end actually rides over the bumps rather than trying to smack you in the arse.
Now it was riding properly and handling like it should it was time to sort out the engine.
It had full service history when I picked it up so I had no fear of it blowing up, so power commander and piper cross filter went on along with a full whistle and bell service.
This along with the 42T has transformed the bike it rides like a proper sports bike now pulling cleanly all the way up to the limiter no surging no chugging and apart from top speed regularly shows power rangers a clean pair of heels.
Still struggling with the wheelies though can't get much more than 130 out of it 4th and 5th gear needs a lot of throttle to keep it up, so to carry the distance I just leave it in 3rd and sit there.
So after 14 months of ownership its where I want it to be and without spending a massive amount too.

Ya mad bugger !!!!

haven't seen you around for a while, you still up for a Friday bash with the swords coz we're out every week rain or shine

Yeah if its nice we'll be up for that, Gemma has a GSXR 1000 K9 now she sold her Tuono cause she couldn't hold on to it

normally start at lee mill at 6 on Fridays, on the main road just along from the garage before the turning to tesco's

Cool see you there

ok

Well it's been pretty much a year since my last update and the only things I've actually done to it is fit a US stand which is brilliant, and a set of AP rearsets which are also brilliant.
It now has a back brake that works and i can actually park it up without fear of it falling (or being knocked) over.
And thinking about it the fact that I haven't felt the need to "modify" it with endless ammounts of tat, and I've had it for two and a half years and I'm still not even looking to change it for anything else.
Shows what a fantastic bike it really is. It does everything I want a bike to do. It ran at the sharp end of a trackday, is brilliant around the twisties, tours really well, looks great even though it's 7 years old now.
I personally think that it looks better than the older AND newer T's. mainly because on the old one they just took off the lower part of the fairing, and on the new ones they just took off the upper part of the fairing.
At least with this one they did a small ammount of styling.
Not sure if I just have a good one or my OCD maintainance routine means that I don't seem to have any of the usual issues that can happen.
All in all I can say out of the 20+ bikes I've owned in my time as a DO IT ALL bike, it's the very best I've owned.
