been away from the forum for a while............but used this time well
under my indications, my mechanic took all "euro 3" pollution stuff away from the bike, changed shock adsorber with a used Hornet 600 one, took air filter box away and put a cone filter on carburator
made forks a bit stiffer, fixed some electrical problems and some noises, changed some nuts and bolts in the frame/engine connection area
put a tiny riser under side stand as the bike got higher with the new shock adsorber
it's a completely new feeling
road handling has dramatically improved as well as riding with passenger
top speed is probably the same but the way it reaches it is better and the aspiration noise...........man, it's GREAT !
next steps foreseen are taking away cat from exhaust and changing the original Dunlop tyres with the quieter TW 203 and 204 Bridgestone ones
wanna let other owners know (in case they prefer the "trail style" tyres) that Vee Rubber (Thailand) also produces measures (VRM 274 and 275) to fit the V-Raptor
