Is this normal?

**Chisanga** · 5th January 2007, 20:02

Hi all ye knowledgable ones out there.... and don't worry the thread title doesn't mean this will be a question about girls

I've never owned a vehicle from new before so please excuse my question.

Today I have just picked my bike up from its first 1000km service and riding it back fromAMPS it feels and rides like a totally different bike. It seems to be revving 'freer' up through the revs and seems to sound alot smoother.

It's really hard for me to explain as i'm not really knowledgable in the technical area.

Is this normal for a bike (or indeed a car) after its first service or perhaps I am just imagining things (I seem to have gotten better looking too since getting the bike back

)

Cheers all

yep all normal............

Quite normal. May have put synthetic oil in, adjusted everything etc......plus you'd expect a bike to run better after a service eh? Things are settling in and just keep following the running in instructions.

Enjoy.

My running in instructions for after the 1000km service basically consisted of "You can fang it now"

Cool............I know my SV was 1600km but pretty much after 1000km you could take it to 7000 revs which would be about 180kish..............

When I run in new bikes I tend to give it a fang every 150km.....helps....and me too...he he
