Congratulations on the bike I have one myself and love it. If your riding single trails that are greasy id always run 70/30 Tyres when offroad. Another couple of good options for the bike is the camel adapter for the clutch so it only needs 2 fingers. Also i bumped my front sprocket down to 14 teeth to get that extra low down torque in the tight stuff. Abs off on the rear/ front always on when off road plus im always in rally mode off road with my traction control set around 2 or 3 That extra windshield you have attached will work better if you tilt it back around 45 degrees. Enjoy fella.
@@SIMONB1 Heya,Yes i do run tubes as nothing worse than taking a hard knock to the rim and not being able to fix it. The tyres I use are tubeless but also able to run tubes.
@ I’m getting the CF Moto 450 as I also have a Tuono 660 factory in the garage. Similar bike, but a bit lighter and with less power, which is better for me on the byways.
Hi Si, I'm glad you're getting to like your new beast. I've got the 890r and from Barrow, so maybe we could organise a ride out. I've been on most of the lanes you do, but I'm sure you'll know some I don't.
Hey up Terry, hope you are talking about the new bike 🤭, yes hope to start the yet over in the french apls or the routes that Adam Riemann did when he came over to the UK this year 🤭, what have you been up to ?
@SIMONB1 will be good to see the trip. Got my KLR250 back after lost compression, rings and valves, she's like a spring chicken, more of my green lanes over here in Suffolk. While she was off the road, picked up an NC700x, road trip up to your neck of the woods next year. Ride safe

Hey up Ragnar, thanks for the tips, are you running tubes ?

Rode one at Sweet Lamb with a semi worn out set of Dunlop 908 Rally Raids - I came away very impressed.
Hey up, seems ok at the moment, just got to get used to it's size ☺️, when you getting one ?

You planning on putting a Garmin on that mount Si? I've got a Zumo I'm not using if you want to try it?
Hey up Mr Mick, not really thought about that yet, I did look at them some time ago, then opted for is maps are they any good for off road ?
Nice bike si ,keep the 500 though 👍😂
Hey up Al, I'll be keeping the 500 😉😲😎
