Greetings Stu and welcome to the Forum. The EVOs a great bike, but as you will discover, and from others input, there's lots to be done to make it better. You hail from my home town. I was born in the QE and brought up in Low Fell before heading out in to the world..

Welcome to the club and Forum Stu.
The EVO is a great bike and a future classic I'm sure. I had great fun on mine.

Hi Stu, yep, had a Rexxer Flash done by Neil at Cornerspeed.
Also new rear shock and fork internals and lowered bars.

Hi Stu.

Welcome to the exciting world of Evo ownership. As with the other Monsters, they are ripe for modification. The only limits are your imagination and bank balance.

I followed Chris's recommendation and got a remap from Neil and can confirm that it works a treat. The fact that Neil offers a postal service is a bonus.

If you're looking to improve your low speed running, have a look here for the various options available to you: http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=54450

Enjoy - and don't forget to post some pictures.
