    I used rain mode when in slow,traffic as I found the engine very choppy at low speeds even frustrating to ride at 30 mph

    When you get the thing lite up the engine behaves like a two stroker very little engine braking

    Plus I'd invest in a double bubble screen )

    Yeah l found that it's not keen on moving slow, but l've after a while l got use too using the clutch so it can. And the engine breaking is ok on mine too be honest

    The engine braking is the reason I bought one )

    You can carry a lot more into corner more so than on a normal in line four and it has the grute of a v twin out the bends

    After riding a gixxer 1000 k6 for 3 years the yamy big banger is one of the quickest bikes I've ever ridden and it front braking is far better than my old k6 but I didn't get the chance to check out its top speed ) on the yamy

    I cut the decat out the middle section which saved about 3 bags of sugar in weight

    Good luck with making the tyres last over 1100 miles )
