Hi!
So yeah, had mine for a few days now, just a quick Hi and to let you know how I'm getting on.
Already put enough miles on it for its first service next week, and already changed the standard exhaust for the Remus race one. The stock one sounds just great, just wanted a bit more volume for filtering through London, it has a lot more bass and still pops if anyone is interested in getting one.
Finding it really comfortable, I can sit for hours on that wide seat, unlike other bikes I've had. Keeping the throttle in Rain mode in town in slow traffic and I think others are finding it snatchy in everyday situations.
The only issue I have, and again it maybe an urban London problem, is the clutch gets stuck and doesn't fully engage if I hold it in too long at the lights, and it is running hot. It will slip and not fully engage, and then I have to mess around with shifting up and down or re-releasing the clutch to get it back into gear properly. The clutch lever physically gets stuck somewhere towards fully released. Not sure if it is plates warping in heat or the clutch cable, hopefully it will get sorted at first service. I also have a Honda Grom though for heavy traffic and commuting and the 790 is for longer journeys and fun, which I am sure it is going to be great for!
It's such a fun good looking bike, my neighbour said it looks alien. I hope my clutch issue gets resolved, I would be interested if anyone else has similar problems or knows more about mechanics and knows what the problem could be.
Regards
Phil.
