[laugh] You tell her LMT. Yeah, some people sweep all the shit they've done under the carpet under the guise of being amicable. I hear you.

Morning all.

is MY bike, I know it . . . I've out accelerated a M696 and a M796 . . . 3rd gear on they leave me  . . . my bike is a little "clumsier" and/or feels larger, the M696 feels smaller, I feel "in" the bike not "on" the bike . . .

M620 just has a "grunt" down low and it takes its time to get to the high RPM range, 696/796 want to be above 4500 t feel happy . . . somehow the 620 is just happy anywhere between 2500-7500 . ..  I barely hit 8000rpm . . . 620 feels "heavier" at lower speeds whilst 696 feels light but as speed builds, 620 feels just as light . . .

Tony, I might have 15 000kms on MY bike, in total I might have no more than 25 000kms riding . . . Is just how I feel it and to tell the truth, it is a bit difficult to express without using my hands to show you what I mean

Hey Ted.

So more low down grunt but less revvy? The seating position sounds better to sit in the bike. I am working on a 620 (2006). Very responsive motor .

Xactly that . . .very responsive motor . . . no need to be changing gears, at least with my OEM and AFM gearing, 15/48 & 14/48 . .. Use TPS between 2.5°~2.7° according to tech in Bologna, should run like butter . . . had mine at 2.6° . . . smooth smooth . . .
