Thanks. I'm off work this week with it been half term, I managed to get out after it dried out, started on mode D :!: but felt very woolly (no surprise) and quickly changed the power setting. I set the suspension up as per the video I found on here, and reduced the tire pressures, but they still didn't seem to be getting very warm, put my hand on once I stopped, time of year I guess. Great fun, all coming back to me :D

What settings do others use? anyone use reduced power or is it full power all the way? probably a daft question :whistle:

The bike is amazing, the other week I was riding in the rain, she was so so smooth, it wasn’t until I almost got home that I realised she was on power mode 2 , the throttle is truly amazing, it’s a 600 chassis/ weight with 200bhp.... my mind says it should be lethal .... but in fact it’s the most well behaved bike I have ever owned..... truly fantastic..... I’m hoping to get out on mine next week

Generally power 1 if I’m on twisties and going fir it, town power 2.... usually 3 in rain but see above.... probably stick to 2 now when raining, never used 4
