    Tyres are Dunlop K750 both ends. Very good on the road, even in damp shady corners. A bit vague in really deep ungraded gravel - mates with TCK80 shod KTM and DR raced away in that part, and good where the loose gravel had been swept off exposing the hard pack underneath.
    I agree on the running in - it's got about 330km on it now, and have been varying the revs up and down, no more than about 5000 and not letting it drop down (with a load on) below 2000. 5000 = 130kmHr so thats fine for now. The shop said they filled it before I picked it up and it went onto reserve at 315km. Took 18.9 litres to fill to the bottom of the tank filler neck.
    So far I'm very pleased.
