As above. 
 

Buy what you like. It will only go as fast you want it to. 
 

One thing I will say though is remember what you were taught and when you need to move the bike about when parking up, get off and walk it. You will massively reduce the risk of dropping it than if you stay on a paddle backwards and forwards. 
 

Enjoy and post some pics up when you get it. 

Could it be that the rear wheel needs to be under load?

I would put it all back together and take it for a gentle spin round the block. See if you can get through the gears under normal conditions. 

I think you’ll be best calling a few schools. They are better placed to give you the info you need. 
 

My 2p. How long is a piece of string? 

Probably all been banned from the local pub. 

I would use the SportsBikeShop link on this forum and yes, it comes with pinlock included from the description on SportsBikeShop website. 

I have found that 

15,895 Hz on a SINE wavelength matches, and completely negates my tinnitus. 
Cheers for that @Mississippi Bullfrog

basically it seemed to boil down to "shit happens and you just have to live with it" which isn't really what I wanted to hear. 

That’s got to make a change from the constant height pitch ringing?

I have tinnitus too. It’s there all the time and most of the time I don’t really notice it. Only come to the front when it’s quiet. I wear ear plugs when I work nights and go to bed in the mornings. It can really play up then. I’ve just learned to live with it. 
I will have a look at the tone generator site.

If I had the money, and lived in America, I’d have one like a shot. Lovely bike

Took it for MOT yesterday

It was raining yesterday!

Every time I HAVE to go somewhere, it f**king rains!!

I got a bloody advisory for the exhaust being noisy. I took it to the same place last year and didn’t get an advisory ( which I pointed out to him) He said he’s covering himself as it’s not original. 
It’s not noisy as the CAT keeps the noise down!

Today I washed it. Tomorrow I need to get the front wheel off and go get the tyre changed. 

That’s a possibility. 
 

Have you tried adjusting the preload front and rear to accommodate pillion and luggage?

You could also look at changing the suspension. 
I have a 2017 Versys and put Hyperpro front springs and rear shock on last year and it has made a big difference. That was just shy of £1000 with getting someone to change the front springs over for me. I took them in loose.
I did the rear myself. Very easy. 
I love my V and don’t find 2 up a problem. I’m only 5’ 7” with a 29” inside leg. 
 

You would still have loads of spare change for touring

Why don’t you just get a new holding rack and bigger panniers for the Versys?

You will be able the sell the Kawasaki originals to recoup some of your money back and still have £9000 -ish. 
Unless you definitely want a different bike. 
 

Thinking about it, they are also the latest space saving devices. 

I have a 29” inside seam and am

also 5’ 6”

I’ve own a mark 2  2017 Versys 1000 GT from new and have no problems solo or 2 up riding. 
 

Another option for you

Latest time saving devices

What about a mark 1 Versys 1000?

I have a 2017 mark 2 and it’ll do a tour and be fun. It can get a shift on when you want it to. 
I mentioned the mark 1 as not sure your budget will reach the mark 2???

Need to know what bike it is please

You must have missed it as the OP states that it’s a GSX600F

It could be that the throttle is sticking or that the return cable is not set correctly (tight enough)

Is the hand grip fouling the bar end at any point? Does the throttle feel smooth? 

I’ve just looked at the price and you can buy an actual lid for less!!

I had a pheasant ambush me yesterday. Came out of a yard entrance on my right while I was going through a village.  It launched itself, I ducked, but it still hit my lid. Little bast*rd!!

Luckily I was only doing 30. 

Yep. Cracking first race. 
 

Gonna be a great season again with a 3 horse race by the looks of it. 
I think Redding has made a mistake going to BMW, but where else could he have gone?

Something interesting for a change Kevin. 
I actually read all of that!  

I have this one. It’s brilliant. 
 

Rokstrap it on length or width ways. 
Don’t worry about being able to get on and off the bike with it on. Just use the foot peg to mount/dismount. The side stand will take it no problem. 

I would search in your language for

”how to set up static sag” 

This explain how to adjust your preload. 

If that’s what you want to, then go for it. 

You will have to do a CBT. A CBT lasts for 2 years. 
Google the CBT and you can find out all the info you will need on .gov website. 

Surely this will have to be calibrated and the owner of the phone have a certificate to declare such?
