Blanchy and myself went for a ride today.
We swapped bikes so we could see the difference's in our mods.
Blanchy's full Yoshi R77 system was really smooth and his new Ohlins rear shock was nice and plush on the rough stuff.
I have a full Arrow system and a Penske 8983 rear shock and the differences were night and day.
The full Yoshi system has heaps of power from 4.5K and up and felt a lot smoother than my full Arrow system.
The power comes on a lot sooner than my Arrow. From 4500+ rpm the Yoshi really powers and lofts the front wheel much earlier than my Arrow.
Blanchy's Ohlins rear shock was probably set a bit too soft for my liking but it was nice and smooth through the rough stuff.
Here are a few pics from the day, it was awesome to try someone else's FZ1 and the weather today was just about perfect for a ride.
25 degrees Celsius and barely a cloud in sight, gotta love Australia in Autumn.
