Hi Patryk

Welcome to the site.

Keep an eye on the chain tension. It caught me out when moving from a pedal bike to a motorbike. Having said that make sure its not too tight either.

Welcome to the site! They are all a friendly bunch here so hopefully you can make the friendly ride out and meet some! Don't be afraid to ask for tips and assistance when you need it. Most of all though have fun and stay safe!

Yeah seems mine is very loose, but i thought it gets tighter when its in gear! i will check that out! Is it supposed to go in a bit when you press down on it in neutral??

Nope.
Off road bikes seem to run with loose looking chains but I think that's something to do with the travel on the swinging arm.

Have a look is your usermanual or workshop manual if you have one.
You'll need to adjust it, rotate the wheel a few times, sit on the bike and then whilst sat on it check the tension at a specific point along the lower run of the chain. Normally halfway between the bottom of the rear sprocket and the point at which it goes into the front sprocket cover.

No need bought MT-07 this morning excited!!!!

Nice bikes them, and in white & black, best colour combo there is. Take it easy at first... I still scare myself at least once each ride.

very nice.
you passed your test then

Nice looking bike there Patryk take easy until you get used to it
Looks like Bransons showroom ???

so why haven't you put your name on the Llandow reserve list then now that you have a license???????

Yes I will, picking it up 17th! Yes it is Branson’s and I am not confident yet! Plus it’s restricted to 35kw so I might be able to come out and keep your pace this time! But not so sure for the track yet!!! Don’t want to risk it too soon lol

just enjoy riding it, don't try to do anything more than ride it

Nice bike. As said above just ride and enjoy yourself, don't try to over achieve just enjoy, when I'm trying to improve my riding i just try to work on one aspect at a time.
