    Gen3 to Gen4 - What to avoid!

    I've been really happy with the 2018 Gen3, no issues at all. But IF I traded it in for a Gen4 to avoid the expensive big service and replacing lots of consumables, which of the Gen4's are to be avoided? I'd be looking for a low mileage replacement not new. There seems to have been so many issues...

    Steering Damper?

    My 2016 was on rails around Brands Hatch, but this 2018 keeps getting itself in a wobble going around clearways! If you know the track, it's the section where your on the power just going over the slight rise around the start of the pit wall. Both this time and last years track day saw the bike...

    Race shift on the road?

    I?m thinking of going race shift all the time, wondering how many do this and if there are any pitfalls. I can see the advantages, but once used to it I can?t think of any disadvantages! Anyone using this all the time road and track?

    Coolant top up?

    2018 gen3 5k miles. I know the ambient is warm at the moment the bike is constantly cycling between 109 and 96ish. The fan seems effective and brings it down quite quickly, but I don?t remember so much fan activation on the previous gen3. I checked the reservoir, and it?s just below/on the...

    Gen3 rear spindle torque anyone?

    Bike back from the dealers with a chain like a bow string, again! It clearly says 45-50mm free play between the sprockets, it was more like 15mm. Now correctly adjusted, but does anyone know the spindle torque up setting? Was it 85 lb/ft or did I make that up? Thanks in advance!

    Gear lever adjustment

    I need to move the gear lever down a bit, but anyone got any idea how to remove the qs cable from the block? I can?t turn the shift rod without doing that! It?s a 2018, and that cable is on their really tight. The only other thing to do is to adjust via the spline at the top, but trying to avoid...

    Gen3 seat cowl

    I picked up a 2018 gen3 recently without the pillion pack. The 2016 was starting to get a bit maintenance heavy for me, and I found a good deal. However, the new bike has no seat, just a plastic cover that doesn’t even attempt to seal the space below. There are lots of wires/alarms/stuff under...

    Tool suggestions?

    It?s been 6 months of organising somebody else, and a lot of hard work but I?ve finally got the S1 in a suitable mancave (garage conversion with knock through). So, now the fun starts! I?m looking for suitable tools to equip the garage as I?m keen to do my own servicing when I can. I?m looking...

    Heated vest a good idea?

    2016 s1, with the bigger battery as it has an alarm. Will it cope with a heated vest drawing straight from the battery? I don't want to overload the system as it all seems a bit fragile... It'll only be running when the engines running. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Warped front discs

    Has anyone else had this issue? The dealer is saying that it wont replace under warranty as it's done some trackdays. And here's me thinking that it was designed for that very job!

    12k service

    Anyone know what I should expect to pay for a 12k service? Is this a big one or same as the 6k? If the big one is 18k, how much do you think. All assuming no problems and std service items. A cash flow forecast will tell me if I should either, keep-pex for new- or sell and go elsewhere...
