    Pics of your new rocket still in the crate - now that's how you present an 'I've Got A New Bike' thread!!

    Congrats and well done on the upgrade Deb, I hope the transition from scoot to superbike is a wonderful new adventure for you!

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    If you think that brings a tear to the eye, you should see the new owners face when he/she totals his/her new bike... NOW THAT brings tears all the way down your face...

    It's... it's....

    Well, it appears to be a motorbicycle.

    It must be rather dangerous, for it to be incarcerated like that. If I were you, I'd feed it some meat before you try to get too near to it. Or better still, a nice bowl of lukewarm oatmeal, so it doesn't get to like the taste of blood.

    Congratulations, young Ms DebK - I hope you and your new WildyBike are very happy.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Was going to cruise up to Manfield & back today as part of the break-in but decided was a bit wet. Instead I rode around the neighbourhood and up & down the J-Ville to Porirua motorway to get used to the gears, brakes, position, etc. I had a great time but really felt it on my clutch hand. Put 60kms on it.

    This break-in period is going to be hard work - was advised to keep it at 5,000 max for first 400kms then progressively move it up until first service at 1,000kms. Keeping it at no more than 5,000 is difficult.

    Any tips from other 636 riders?

    Cheers
    Someday we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

    Wow kawasaki's are crated with the front wheel on.... That'd make it easier. Not like the yamaha's I've had to assemble. Especially the FJR1300 that was a mission to get the front wheel on and then wheel it off the crate, Took 4 hours to put that jigsaw together with panniers and top box also.

    I've been doing some web research on it WINJA and your way appears to be a common opinion. Bloody hard to know what to do though as the bike shop was specific in what I should be doing. Argh.

    Have now done 150kms, just before it started pelting down here in Wellington. Took the brakes through a couple of heat cycles, the same way as when I put new Pagid's on my rally car - give them heck, then let them cool down.

    Apart from my wrists, the bike is very comfortable so far. If I hug the tank harder with my knees I can take some weight off my throttle hand, so it's all good.

    Will just normal cornering and straight-line stuff scrub the Bridgestones in okay? Should I also take some sandpaper and give them a rough up?
