As you probably know, Ichijo san is the designer of the SRX600. He was visiting for only two nights... we went for a short ride. He noted the clutch was slipping on one bike at 4k rpm, and also felt the rear suspension could be less tense on the other bike, the bike he is riding in the video. I have adjusted the cable at the engine side and the clutch is good now... and the rear suspension which was second softest, is now the softest... I also replaced the blue bike's front rotors with a pair from a spare, eliminating the jerky stop when coming to an intersection... long known problem... just did not get around to it... though I really could have. Well, it is finally done now and it feels much better. Only days from now, Ichijo san will return with another friend from Japan. Depending on the weather we will ride the three bikes here and with at least one more rider who intends to join us from San Jose. There is a weekend to spend, then Ichijo san will fly to Chile, where there is a community of enthusiasts of the SRX600.
