Hello from the 'Shires...

[Ferret]

I do love the look of those x10`s very cadilac .

"Very Cadillac", that's a great description of the X10. I think it looks great. Maybe a bit more thought on some aspects like the fuse box but a very sleek machine!
You will love it. Hope to see it sometime.

Letchworth is just down the A505 from me - your side of Cambridge here.

I'm running mine in still - I decided to do the MCN run-in on this to see how it goes (http://s11.postimg.org/b4r4thgwz/Page_1_Running_In.jpg), still on the sub 100miles baby stage with some Fuchs/Silkolene API-SJ mineral oil I found for V-twins at 20w50 weight. No idea if we need 50sae in the UK but as it's summer I thought I'd use it and maybe switch to a 40 in the winter unless I see a good reason not to.

Currently on an average of 73mpg and after 50 miles it says I have 280 miles until empty.
At 200kg it's a bit lardy for pushing around and a little slow steering at low speed but doing well on the ride. Slightly irritating that two warning lamps are unused yet we only have a single almost central indicator lamp, I guess I'll learn to ignore it.

Also getting used to it never being locked unless the steering lock is on.

I also did the fusebox mod - covering up the base of the fusebox so it doesn't get water on all the vital contacts.
I got the Givi screen too, absolutely perfect and transforms the bike.

PM me if you fancy popping in to say hello!

Cheers Globs, I'm still running in too and it's a frustrating experience after thrashing my Xevo 400

I fitted a Givi Airflow last week and it has completely transformed the bike - I don't hate motorways anymore!

That's a useful article about running in and it makes me feel better about how I've been building up the workload, the first service is booked for next week and I'm curious as to how fast it can go.

Yes the fusebox mod is essential, but I wish I'd seen the post showing how to take it out from beneath first, I did it the hard way from above. The view from the rear tyre shows how important it is...


I'm planning on doing Funkycowies ride-out in a couple of weeks so maybe I'll see you then?

My Cadillac



I chose the Givi Airflow screen so I have the option of a short fairing on a hot day (that won't be often then!



and the whole thing for commuting and bad weather....



Bonus feature - Givi screens leave enough space to clean the instrument hood!
