Sorry Paul,only just seen your Post
. As i said earlier,i've had no problems with the bike. I've used it to visit the Isle Of Man,been to the Ace Cafe,various Race Meetings and a bit of Local Hooning about. Because i don't commute on it,it gets used irregularly but for a decent mileage. I love it.dee,thanks,do you think the bike is shit on fuel when hammerd,have you put a 16/spocket on it? or any other mods.thanks paul/bham.
Fuel Economy never enters the equation.If it needs Petrol ,it gets some.I haven't made any mods as i bought a Van with my "Bling Budget".I think that i will do the 16t Sprocket,junk the Emissions Gubbins and fit Akra Cans. A full system would be nice but with the KTM and a HP2 MM and a ZRX1200 in the Toy Cupboard i have to be careful with the Plastic.

950sm mods
Hi, I've had a 950sm for nearly 2yrs and it still leaves a big grin on my face when i ride it. I've got akras,16t front sprocket and I've removed EPC etc all have helped but the only mod that makes a massive diffrence was the 16t sprocket
.Fueling varies depending how you ride. round town or scratching not so good about 90-100 to reserve but touring in france excellent 135-145 to reserve. Scorpion syncs are the best all round tyres, tried others, currently on pilot powers but going back to syncs. I also have tried the 990sm and adventure but the FI is crap. The 950sm is without a shadow of a doubt the best of the bunch. Hope this helps

A quick note on fuel consumption.... On a late 2006 bike....
With std gearing around town reserve light comes on at 90-100, ridden like a loon on A and B roads with no regard for fuel consumption, reserve light comes on regularly at 120.
Utterly fabulous bike.....

ps mit akras and needles lifted one notch.

UPDATE Mileage 1880
After giving the Megamoto a run,earlier,i unchained the 950 SM and went out for a run. Stayed Local as it was starting to cool off as the sun dipped but put another 70 miles on. Bike running OK but REALLY needs a 16T Front Sprocket.It is WAAAAY overgeared. Having spent out with a Ti Akra for the MM,there ain't a lot left in the Kitty for the Katoom.Can't afford the Ti Akra so i reckon it will be getting a pair of Akra Cans,Emmissions Gubbins junked,Airbox Mod,K&N,Re-Jet and Dyno Set-Up,16T Sprocket. I've got a full set of R&G Bungs to fit and i may go for a set of Samco Hoses.
I promised myself that i'd leave this one alone.
