The first thing I'll be doing to mine once it's run in is to fit a 1 tooth smaller front sprocket. 6th gear is useless until you hit 75mph. The damned thing is geared for at least 150mph FFS!!!

75Mph = 4500rpm, 9000 - 9500 rpm cut out? (Well that's about where the shift light came on when I thrashed the test bike)
Gives 150-160mph in top = Useless overdrive gear.
It's to get it through the emissions regs AFAIK.

For about a tenner that will make five times the difference a £700 pair of cans will!
