also keep and eye out for a dellorto 34mm carb, you will need the 34mm inlet to, and also check if the cdi has been modded, theres a environmental dip at 5000-6000rpm.
It's full power already? 
just because its full power you will still need to do those things and your bike dosnt come with the 34mm carb as standard the older ones do, the cdi will still have the dip if its full power

Don't commute to london anymore fella Haven't done for months and months.
I had enough of it.
Rain ridings great fun, bikes all loose, makes it a right laugh. I guess your a wet weather rider, or not, no inbetween. I like riding the rain, just not when the gear eventually leaks. Everyone else goes much slower, you carry on the same speed, things seem much faster
And im still eyeing up that Nelli Tornado
Oi, dont knock the bandito, it'll last longer than that R6 crap Get a proper R6 Wink nudge nudge.....

Fair enough, I rode into work the other day and it sucked, so much work trying to avoid idiots who can't drive.
My gear always leaks, cause it's not waterproof, just leathers. Down the neck, down the front, into boots, proper horrible....
R6's suck, every buggers got one

ha ha don't knock the old girl, even the older shape R6's can still easily cut it on the roads
I still ride to work, but its only 10 miles instead of 27 each way, but now im nearer Maidstone, so can choose a fair few routes to come home on. better than straightlining that god awful crappy A2. Lets all sit in the outside lane of a 4 lane motorway 
Man i got the full sh1t, leathers (need a jacket), textiles (need another jacket ) winter boots, summer boots, winter/summer gloves, 3 skid lids etc....
And i've still not got a 1 peice, or back protector

You have an R6?
That's cool, much better. Thing I hate about the new A2 is the lanes are so skinny, I find myself weaving rather than filtering.
I do have waterproof textiles, but they're so gay, and leathers are meant to be worn on sportsbikes, not textiles!
I would like a 1 piece, but it's another £500+

636 is the way forwards. 
I dunno if you're on BCF but I have a little project thread going, I would start one on here but it's not really a Corsa

Looking smart Graham although I'd think about taking the 'ZX-6R' decal off too?
Just been for a blast on mine, absolutely loving it! Can't wait to do my test and get something bigger!
Got a right grin on my face at the mo!

I've got the older version of one of these
great little bikes, really light so turns into bends with ease. You have to rev it and constantly go up and down the gears to get it to shift, but they go alright for what they are.
full power is roughly about 6 secs to 60 mph, but then after that it gets pretty slow acceleration.
I've got some Dunlop Sport Max tyres or something like that, basically a GP track day / race tyre. Gets hot so quick and sticks so well
