Hi Guys. New to blade ownership. Had my had forced as some low life scum decided he like the look of my my k5 gixxer. So took it. Toss pot. I now own a 2008 blade. I'm still in early days of ownership (1week) And it is very different from the gixxer. First off gearing and power delivery. Less low rev grunt than the gixxer.but more than makes up for it after 5k rpm .. Second ...Brakes .30% better nearly launched myself over the front end on road test. Dash has more info and the throw on the gear lever is longer ... I'm loving it so far. Not riden it enough yet. But I plan to have the suspension set up to my weight and go from there. Love the forum and all the info it provides. Andy
Welcome , shame about your k5 , the best Gixxer Suzuki built till the 2017 model, enjoy the Blade . Post some pics , its the law
It does that sometimes, I think it's the high quality of some photos that does it. If it happens to me I usually put the piccy on my phone thru an app like pixar and not alter it but re-save as lower quality pic then post that. Also cropping the original pic sometimes works
