    What mileage did you Guy's have your first service done at?

    I was thinking 500-600 miles, but I've noticed in the Handbook the run in period is stated as 500 Kilometers which is only 300 miles, so is that when ya first service is due or just when ya can thrape the arse off her?

    300 mile run in and 600 mile service which of course is very important .I run mine in upto the 300 miles as per the book but for the sake of another 300 miles I ran it fast but did not red line it , get the service done and then go for it .

    Does anyone know why the ABS models don't get the fancy underseat plastics as per the non-ABS?

    Can't see what would cause a problem in that area?

    The abs pump goes in battery area so the cdi/reg unit gets shoved backwards I think
