Back to its best

Postby Phil » Thu Apr 16, 2009 3:49 pm

I just picked up the mighty 9 after its 130000k service by the good folk @ Aitkens.......

WOW, after spending a week on the Versys (which BTW i loved) I got back on the freshly tuned 9 and promptly nailed the eye balls to the back of my head. Even Jamie commented on how bloody good the whole package is.

Then again why should i be surprised - ya gotta love the 9 :kuda:

Nothing like a freshened up bike. I heard your run down on the Versys on Tuesday. Sounds like you had a bit of fun on it mate

A week that contained 2 public holidaze, also needed a part that took 3 days to come in, combined with the fact I couldnt pick it up Wednesday ;) More than happy with the service from Jamie, Paul, Jeff & the guys

and still pumped out 133 rwhp last time on the dyno @ Tex's, i reckon it may even have a few more as Jamie reported the carbs were well out of sync - seat-of-the-pants dyno says its better ;)
