Just picked up a 2XT

I watched a 2XT in Japan the other night it was pretty impressive ... Some Japanese are crazy

^^ that thing is quick, not sure if the tacho is accurate (14k rpm..) but it has some nice overrev!

I spoke too soon, had the bike out again today for a proper ride and had a few issues. First the speedo cable broke but that's OK then the temp guage climbed for the sky after about 35km, no idea why it was 6 30am and foggy outside. From what I can make out the battery being almost flat was causing an electrical issue because when I pressed the brake the needle bounced around a bit. I pulled up and it dropped back down after a few minutes then went back up again, I will need to investigate more. Other than that all was well though

I had a look around the bike last night and found the wire for the temp probe was loose and dirty so it was breaking down but that was only a minor detail. I decided to check the thermostat to see if it was stuck closed and it was actually stuck open and bent and all gummed up so I'm surprised it even worked for the 35km it did. Anyway I pinched the one out of the R1-Z and put it in and it was sorted. Now of course I need one for the R1-Z
