My bike's first service @ 1000km
Bloody cost $264
$170 just for labour... and they only had the bike for 2 hours
Anyway, apparently the 'ticking/flapping' noise was because of a loose 'clutch plate', they tightened it and it's not as loud.
She runs better I think, from the ride home
and now that she's done 1000+km, I can ride the bike faster than 60kmp/h haha. Can't wait for a highway ride.
Been reading a little about the Venox, and because it doesn't have a tacho I was a little nervous about when to change the gear.
I USED to change the gears as follows:
1st = 0 - 15 kmp/h
2nd = 15 - 30 kmp/h
3rd = 30 - 50 kmp/h
4th = 50+ kmp/h
I never realised that bikes could take the high revs and so from reading a few reviews;
1st = 0 - 35 kmp/h
2nd = 35 - 60+ kmp/h
3rd = 60 + kmp/h
And apparently ( I haven't tried yet ) 2nd gear can go up to about 80-85 kmp/h before shifting into third
