I always carry that foam stuff wi me...ye never know when ye`l need it..
so wheres yer favourite routes around eastkilbride. or further a field ... theres plenty back roads around east kilbride eh.. out the strathaven way..towards Kilmarnock...tae Hamilton an down towards the leadhills. have ye done any wheelies ??? if yer not worrying about top end speed get yersel a 14 front sprocket...quicker acceleration mid range grunt ye only miss out on 5 mph an the bike will do 105 easy... but these bikes are better off around the 80ish mark,, on the trailies its not about speed its about Torque. i have a xjr 13 aswell now theres a Torquey bike

xjr nice, once had an FJ12 now there was a torquey bike. routes are basically out behind straven and beyond, just as fast on the xtx i reckon, you think 14t sprocket is the way to go then, on my prev bike ZX9R i had a bigger back sprocket and that still did 170ish but wheelied like crazy, top speed is defo not on the agenda these days licence too prcious and got 2 kids now so high speeds a nono.
