Welcome Wolfman, I upgraded from a 600 to the bb, (i've now down graded to a busa

), just remember that the throttle isnt an on/off switch and youll have a blast.

I beg to differ there Bus Boy -
twist throttle fully open = hard ON
twist throttle fully closed = hard OFF
twist throttle fully open = hard ON
twist throttle fully closed = hard OFF
twist throttle fully open = hard ON
twist throttle fully closed = hard OFF
twist throttle fully open = hard ON
twist throttle fully closed = hard OFF

:oops)

Sorry Andy - just realised yer a Bus Boy now ain't ya - probably doesn't have the same effect as the

Welcome to the Madhouse WolfMan

Enjoy the 'bird but enjoy life better. Treat with extreme caution until ready to wind her up.

Go slow, good things come to those who wait.

Wolfman im bout 70 miles up the road from you between Barnstaple and Bideford

Bude is bout half way between us giz a shout if you fancy meeting up when you get your new

by **Gizzit** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 7:26 pm

Welcome matey, obviously a man of great taste :rockon)

As to running in, I picked up my new one a couple of months ago and was told "don't ride like a nutter for the first 300 miles!". Not riding like a nutter just means a bit of short shifting intitially and staying below the ton!!! You will find everyting is tight to begin with and if yours is anything like mine was, it may be a bit vibey for the first few hundred miles. Mine now has 1,700 miles on it and is becoming as smooth as the proverbial smooth thing, it just seems to get better each time I take it out.

Now that I have some miles on it I am really enjoying the power delivery, it is more responsive than my carbed blackbird was and seems to pull harder in the mid range.

Enjoy matey :thumbsup)
