I think the bet mod you can do is race cans, T.R.E., air box lid removal, etc etc etc and a manual.

HI!!
Given our Summer, maybe the best mod would be a spray protector for the front plug..........
PS - and a TRE.
:P

Great Bike and good choice. Love the colours too. Recommend that you purchase a scot oiler for the chain. This is an automatic chain oiler. Apart from that purcgase a thick clear plastic made for headlights. Always good to have...

I bought the bike with the paint job already done, have to say it has had 3 previous women owners - need i say more on the good paint job!!! This bike has been fantastically well looked after, therefore i am thoroughly pissed off with the weather at the moment - (fairweather biker)

T.R.E advice

Post by RaptorJo »

ok, need a bit of advice guys, I have just bought a TRE off ebay about £20.00 delivered - on the advert it says i can just plug it in job done. Is this right as looking on the site there are mentions about the mappings etc - this is where it all goes over the top of my head. I've bought it purposely to try and get rid of the snappiness in slow traffic. Its in the post at the mo so could do with advice before i fit it. Never done anything to a bike before so complete novice. Cheers in advance. :?
