New bike delivered Friday evening ; Saturday - hugger fitted and gear lever moved up by one spline to allow me to get my boot underneath it. Good coating of ACF50 applied. Went for a 100 mile run around N Yorkshire today so tyres and brakes now bedded in. First impressions are that the bike is very comfortable and very tractable with good low-rpm grunt. Heated grips are effective and all seems to work as it should although I have yet to figure out how to reset the trip and mpg meters in the TFT screen. Also need to figure out how to set up phone, helmet and sat nav via the TFT system.
My only complaint is that I find the rear brake pedal is far too low for me so that I can get very little pressure applied for low-speed riding. There is no way to adjust it upwards as it sits against a metal stop so I have removed a bit of free-play and ordered an extender from Nippy Normans which will raise the effective height a bit and if that is still not enough I can use it as the basis for adding a thicker spacer. My other observation is that the vario luggage is VERY heavy even empty!
