I am belting around at the moment on PC's Z1000 - have been for a few weeks, since the CCT on the little 6fiddy shart itself - I tell ya what, these new-era Zeddies are a lot of fun to ride......

Went for a spin on it today, first impression is that the front handles bumps better than it did before, also didnt dive on inital application of the brakes - not that I was using them all that hard as they were still bedding in - new disks and new pads so I wanted to take it easy and get gradually harder on them rather than go to hard to early.

May be using a little more travel than would be optimum ATM, I'm sure that can be sorted quite easily and I look forward to another ride very soon.

Apart from feeling better over bumps the rest of it felt better as well, ride seemed more smooth and there was a little more feedback from the front end as a whole. No wallowing which is the way I like it.

Nice job, looks impressive.

My old workshop was across the road from Boltmaster in Penrith. Still close though.

I added 1 line of preload today, seems a little better. Also added a little more preload to the rear to keep the balance. Felt like it had the desired effect but will really have to wait for a proper ride - not a jaunt to work a o dark o clock.

Wont be tomorrow either - ZRX with "just scrubbed in" new Sportec M5 Interacts is the mount for the mornings cuppa run

[hoffy]

So far I have done about 60k's on them. Rode from home to a certain eating establishment in close proximity to my work It was one of my staff's birthday yesterday, so we went out for lunch

They feel pretty good so far and even had a little run through some of the local "low speed, but tight" corners on the way home. Already past lean indicator 5 on a scrubbing in run . Tip in and general ride feel very similar to the M3's, I am also keen to try them in the wet. If I give the big gurl a detail tonight it is sure to rain.
