Newbie - appreciate help with a few Falco questions
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2014 1:02 pm
Hi Everyone
A few weeks ago I bought a cherished Falco, having found it increasingly uncomfortable to ride my RSV after breaking my right hand in an accident last year.
Very pleased with the bike so far, and am making a few small mods to suit me (fresh tyres, steering damper, uprated clutch slave, etc). This is an excellent source of info by the way (there's a lot of it)!
The riding position on the Falco is working better for me but, bizarrely, after riding for half an hour or so, I'm getting a pain in my left knee - which I don't get on any of my other bikes. Today, I've tried adjusting the gear lever to see if that helps but I can't help but think some adjustment with footpegs, too, would help. I've read some threads on rear sets - can anyone recommend some that bolt straight on without modification, are a reasonable cost and which they've found work well please?
Also, does anyone do a simple-to-fit-bar riser which, similarly, doesn't need modifications?
And, lastly, for town traffic especially the horn is woeful! I'd like to fit something more effective - but there doesn't seem to much space ...be pleased to hear if other owners have addressed this.
Many thanks
