V7 is a torque monster,
« on: June 09, 2025, 02:08:31 PM »
I went to the hardware store this morning, deployed the side stand to stop the bike.
When I came back turned on and folded up the side stand and putted off with barely any throttle.
Then I realized I was in 3rd gear.
The bike seemed quite happy taking off from a standstill in 3rd.
