    I like it, very much.

    It vibrates a bit, and roars somewhat when the throttle is WFO, but on
    the whole it's very very nice indeed.

    1st mod has to be the Oberon uprated clutch slave, the standard item is
    fucking heavy.

    Too much time to think, too little to do.

    Is this the point at which someone comes along and points out that you
    wouldn't have had such issues had you bought the 750 version?

    Well, whilst the 750 did appeal it's lack of power was a concern,so I
    went for the 900.

    I did research this somewhat, and found that the Oberon unit transorms
    it into a 2 finger only operation

    A quick blat to Moto Forzo Italiano this afternoon, where they advised
    that a strip and lubrication of the actuating rod should improve
    matters.

    You were right about Ducatis though Steve, I've only had it a day and I
    adore it already.

    *Another* one who has been wanking himself and frigging his g/f right handed
    all his life.

    These boys, for there are others, should have tried riding Pip's RF900 after
    we put two diaphragm springs in the clutch. That was "character building".

    The best physio available. I can still squeeze harder with my left hand
    than with my uninjured right.
