                    • And Phwoar is back. After almost 4 months.. the R1 is roaring again, with all cylinders firing. The engine feels a little tight, but I'm not sure if it's me or if it's the new valves and head combo.

                      I have to run the valves in, until they are seated properly, which means no shenanigans for the next 2k or so. It's been a long time coming, I don't have to repeat whatever's happened, but the end result has been positive. The work was carried out beautifully, despite it being long and way overdue. It is absolutely top notch.

                      I also love the new CF parts on Phwoar, and it adds a touch of stealth-ishness to the bike IMO. I'll get some photos in the morning and post up.

                              You mean ride in.. Does Pune have enough space for a freshly rejuvenated R1 (and biker)? Planning to ride in soon.
