Good budget buy – Changed the can to a Staintune (left over from a 1250 Bandit I had once).

Infact many parts are interchangable with the 1250 Bandit.

It sounds better than on the 1250, but closer to a vacuum cleaner than a Harley.

Initially it was very jerky on the throttle release, but increasing the front spring preload to a 1/2 a turn from stock, cured this and improved the handling. The springs are too soft for my 100kg weight, but the rear is fine.

The seat interchangable with the 1250S and the GSX650 is far more comfortable, as the back section is not as steep and press on the tail bone.

Wind from the screen buffets my helmet visor (I am 6 foot tall).

The motor gearing is nor ideal, as it was lifted straight of a 2005 GSXR600, and all the gear ratio's are too close together.

It makes for a busy motor, and I am always looking for 7th.

I tried a rear sprocket with 2 more teeth, but the performance dropped away to much, and was rowing gears still.

Night vision from the headlamp is outstanding, both high and low beam. Cheap GSXR 600 look a like fuel use a bit heavy, heavy bike too push
