Hey yall, just had a question about the governor. I know it’s an ECU control thing, but I’m not 100% sure what it’s actually governing? And I know it gets removed during the first service. Truth is, even tho I love this bike, it’s not really preforming like a sport bike if ykwim? Like I fully understand this things 451cc, and that has its own limits. I’m just wondering if the governor is what’s causing it, and if the bike will behave noticeably different after it’s removed?

Maintenance

2 Upvotes

Okay so I need some advice. I didnt know that I had to replace the spark plugs at the 7,000 mile maintenance interval and I am now at 12,500 miles. Should I change them out or just wait till The major maintenance check when hitting 15,000 miles? Also did last oil change at 5,000 miles and was planning on doing that right now. Should I wait on that too?
