Hi everyone
As a new Raptor owner (red 2007 one owner before me) and only one outing as yet to Southport. Got a few nice comments at the end of the pier too.
I'm keen to now all about my bike, can anyone recommend any road test articles I can read, I've tried googling but not much to get excited about.
While I'm on, the back brake seems to have an excessive amount of movement and returns up against the casting ! Am I missing something?
Many thanks

Welcome in Trigger, head over to http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... =10&t=4474 although I think they're generally about the 1000s.
The underslung superbike back brake is a pig to bleed on the 1000s, I guess the 650s are the same? I'd start there and then service the caliper.

Road racing's where it's at - going round in circles all day is for hamsters.

Re: Newby.
Thanks Guys
I'm sure I'll be back with more questions, still not ridden far so not much to report.
Having said that my other half said 'it looks nice' which is amazing as the purchase of a forth bike was not well received!!
