Welcome aboard from Bristol. Can we have photos of your bike?
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

The screen is the worst part of this bike. I use an MRA flip. It throws the wind and bugs over my head.

Warning, do not get a Yamaha sump guard. If hit on the front they rip a hole in the sump. I literally threw mine in the bin. Most others are OK.

If you want to make it go like the engine designer wanted it to, (as opposed the the emissions guy,) get the ECU flashed. Simon at 'Race Engineering' in Dunmow Essex is the UK rep for ECU Unleashed. Not cheap, but worth it.
