Takegawa variator and Heidenau tyres
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2015 8:08 am
Posting my experience here with recent modifications as per topic.
Takegawa variator gave it much more acceleration and put a smile on my face on country roads and through the city, up to 60mph nothing can beat it (except a proper bike
).
In an attempt to find its new top speed and see if it makes it a little more motorway-able I took it to a local motorway, tops out just below 70mph or just beyond it with a little downhill incline. Much more stable with the 100 front and 120 rear Heidenau K66 tyres which also gives it the (long missed grip for proper cornering and braking) but I think that the sweet spot is up to 60mph.
