timmythecop Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 nothing really special to look out for. Remember that SP1 and SP2 are different (exhaust, swingarm, head bearings, subframe, injectors). also, it is almost a must to have the suspension done, as stock set up is weak. It is about as electrically sound as a 5th Gen, but is easily sorted. Be prepared to pay a bunch if it needs exhaust. Also, it handles much nicer with a 190/55 instead of stock size of 190/50 (but the 55 is the most expensive size). If you get an early SP1, look on the engine cases near the swingarm mount for the mechanic who assembled the engine's signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 3, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 3, 2016 128mph? My 4th gen would do 239kmh (prolonged gps reading on Autobahn). That is 149mph... Am sure the RC51 will be even quicker.. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
