Now then folks.

Thanks for all your help sorting out my starting issues. It has taken me so long to reattach new throttle and clutch cables as I had a nasty crash on my ktm. Anyway, the Bike starts pretty easy now! Only been down the road but this thing keeps on pulling and pullling...choo choo!

Did a 2nd gear power wheelie overtaking a taxi. love this bike.. just gotta sort the brake issues. It feels like there is no front brake!

Once again, thanks!

"feels as.... no brake" - compared to????

I also thought that, coming off my CBR600RR! But hey, that's an unfair comparison, and in the field you do not want the brakes to be as vicious. However, a bit bigger disc (not a sumofo-320mm one!!) will help here, especially when you'll find yourself on road also.
Otherwise, sintered pads work wonders, and even a braided line does. Nothing wrong with the std one's mind, just better & sharper.

Get an EBC 280mm oversize front rotor (320 if a Motard). Then you will say, you don't have a rear brake.
