I had an excellent day. Very good to meet up with you Ray. With the fuse in you'll notice a difference , but I doubt it'll throw you off the bike. Just a nice smooth take off , like the FJR. My MPG actually improved (Tontos) - guess I got to 4th a bit quicker!
Hope to see you down at Belper.
BTW CMC quoted me £299.95 for the 12000 service.
