Well, not after yesterday, but...
I've bought an Outfit. It's a 55 plate W650 Kawasaki with an old Watsonian single seat chair. Jumping in at the deep end, I had a short test ride demo by the owner, paid up and set off for Tamworth from Camarthen. Solo but a couple of bags of gravel and a 20 ltr container of water in the chair.The fact that I'm writing this is testament to my skills ( Dumb Luck, more like) but I NEED Pointers.
The Outfit is very tidy, MOT'd and has been used by the seller. It has the Std Telescopic Front Forks and rear shocks and a Hagon shock on the chair that is a heavy duty job as he had an 18 st Mate that he took around. Square section tyre on the front.
Gentle acceleration is fine and I cruised along the M4/M5 without drama. Trying to accelerate robustly has the bars shaking wildly but more speed pulls it past the wobbles. The wobbles return on slowing for traffic or junctions.
Any advice will be Welcome and if it means getting an expert to check the set up, any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
