Newbie intro from France

[thebiglad]

Hi all, my name is Dave and I have a 2013 1190 Adventure, with heated grips, tyre pressure doohickies and EDS.

I bought Kitten 4 weeks ago and have done about 2000 kms since then. According to the trip computer she is averaging 4.9ltrs per 100 kms which I reckon is remarkable considering the amount of punch she has.

I have already blocked off the SAS and soon be removing the O² sensors, replacing the std. airfilter set-up, and maybe going for a de-catted exhaust downpipe jobby. Ergo drivers seat is on it's way and currently fiddling with screens to reduce the amount of turbulence suffered.

Cheers all,

Dave

Welcome mate.

Bonjour!

[thebiglad]

Thanks very much guys.

I get the impression that there aren't many 1190 Adventure's on here, is that right?

[Marki]

There are even less 1290 super Adventure bikes lol.

[Muppet]

No idea really, but what the hell, it doesn't matter, just enjoy the forum and let us know how you get on with the bike.

[thebiglad]

Fair enough, that's what I'll do.

I plan to do a fair bit of modifying of the bike then hopefully plenty of long-distance runs, so maybe it'll be interesting for the people that follow on.

Cheers
Dave

When you say 'here', do you mean as in here, or over there?

[thebiglad]

Well my UNI filter kit and O² sensor removal kit have now arrived so it's going to be a busy day.

Happy days...........................
