After changing from the V-strom 1000 to a 650 I am not gelling with it as much as I did the 1000.
I do appreciate its lighter which was the issue for the 1000.
I have been on three demos this week Tiger 900 ,Tracer 9 and NT1100.while each bike has better areas than the 650 ,none have given me the urge to change, I also hate there modern switchgear with a mass of buttons to navigate.
With this in mind I am looking to alter the 650 to try and change some of its short comings from the 1000
The most noticeable area is the brakes(even the wife notices them).
I have ordered some Honda four piston callipers and now have a couple of questions that hopefully someone who has also done this conversion can help with.
First SV racing or Cosmo adaptors? then keep the standard master cylinder which is 14mm or look at a radial version?
If I can sort this I will probably have to look at improving the suspension, but one thing at a time.
