It was pointed out to me that I had posted the wrong video (a duplicate of a previous post). The correct one is now below.

Yep, that sounds spot on now, you'll find out if she needs more fast idle when the weather turns chilly, they still sounds good though eh ;)

I think the change of engine to the same as the 1150 can't be a bad thing. It probably makes it more compliant, maybe a little quicker (once you change the exhaust and make it less compliant) and, why not.

I say this because I have a 2014 DL100A and never ridden the earlier model and obviously I may be wrong but I'm very happy with mine. :thumb:
