The 500V performed admirably again, and even took a beating for a session by Mark Davies (ex British 250GP champion).
We had a slight issue with a sticky float valve on the first turn of the fuel tap this morning, which was quickly rectified and re-seated, and the rest of the day was spent spanking it's a$$... just how it should be!
Weather was beautiful too, apart from about an hour in the afternoon where it clouded over a bit, but the sun was soon back out. _________________ Andy.

Nice one, how it should be used. Remember Mark, bloody good 250 runner. _________________ Proud Father of , 05 ktm 400exc supermoto 2018 honda crf rx supermoto
While this is the second time I've ridden the bike it felt like the first as most of our first outing was used to repay people I needed to thank. Information gained from that first day also helped in setting the bike up for my first proper go second time around.
With the gearing lowered a little, rear ride hight raised and slight lowing of tyre pressures the bike was really good. I had a couple (of what felt like huge) slides that almost made me feel like I was riding the bike how it should be.
It is unbelievably fast and I admit after a few laps I struggle to hold on to it. I just don't have the strength.
Letting Mark have a go on it I was rewarded with a couple of laps on a NX4 which was fantastic. I've always wanted to ride one of them and it was like nothing else. I really need one.
Thanks to Andy and Bill who came up with me and helped with bike prep, pushing and in car entertainment and to Fontyyy for being Fontyyy. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
The thought of Steve on an NX4 is rather amusing. Just how much clutch slip was required to get it moving?????
But you're right of course, they are a great little machine. Stick a charging system on one and use it to go shopping....Oh what a laugh that would be.
We got some pictures of it Matt. It was tiny, the rear sprocket was about the size of a saucer. It did take some clutch slipping. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
I know what you mean about the clutch slip Stephen, so if you do get one you better check out its got a low first, or fit one, but like me i doubt your 8-9 stone anymore, told you they was hard work. _________________ Proud Father of , 05 ktm 400exc supermoto 2018 honda crf rx supermoto
