Hi all,
After much research on this forum, FB, google & plenty of advice/guidance from moderator Craig, I finally found the bike I was looking for as there not many around on the second hand market BUT mine is in fact new Picked it up off Gumtree from a true gentleman & drove to QLD from SYD yesterday...loooong drive BUT worth it!
It is stock as a rock with 0.0hrs on the hour meter - the owner bought it (as well as a 150 & 88?) & had no intention of riding them, he hadn't even started the bike so we cracked it last night - he is friends with the owner of Braaap.
I rode it today & it is unreal - I can see why they call it the "Anima" engine & I'm not into it as yet whilst running it in - I have a few q's:
1. should i run the run in oil for 1hr then drop it & replace with belray semi synthetic 10/40, per suggestion from braaap?
2. for run in procedure, should i take it easy & load the engine up for the 1st hour, then get into it (per braaap advice)?
3. There is a cable attached from the frame to the rear brake, looks like it needs to come off as you cannot apply the rear brake? what is its purpose...maybe it stops from the slave cylinder being over extended in transit...is this the case?
4. the oem braaap stickers are pretty much falling off, can i salvage these & reapply them or should i replace them with new sticker kit? i wonder if all braaap stickers lose adhesion after a while & if so, i'll look at alternative brands
the exhaust silencer was removed - sounds much better without it & lets it breath
i am absolutely wrapped with my new bike.
regards
marko
