Moomoo Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I fancied the same bud, went on an experience day, totally re-hooked. After a bit of a a hiccup, I have narrowed down what I'm after bike wise and on the search. The experience day threw up one or two age related bits but a few weights and exercise seems to have sorted that. As a 66 year old in his late teens ,the odd compromise , I guess , has to be addressed!? Go for it chap!

b40rt Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Plenty of info on here on how to take the "edge" off if it's a bit lively. Slow action throttle and dropping the gearing being the easiest/ cheapest. Check if this has been done already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a domino throttle on it and not exactly sure of the overall setup but am happy enough just now! Sure I will want to mess with things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
