Hi!

Thanks! :D

I still have original tyres at 16.000km (9 941.93908miles). When did you change your tyres, chain, sprockets? How much miles have you driven in a row?

tires at about 11,000 m 7000m on oem sprockets

250 miles at an average speed of 50mph
to do this with hills,rest stops and gas stops
i was at 65 70mph and 10,000 rpm plus
most of the ride

i can actually make better time on the same trip with the rt125
than the saxon tour the tour will pound your butt its a ruff riding bike

What about setting the valves? Have you done that, so far?

heh, OK. Where did you get a "mask" for your RT? It looks nice...

Anyway, here are some pics of mine:
