JimR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ye ure right i wont have to fight to get it up to 60mph so will be more relaxed and i allready know it handels a lot better than the 125 but the cluch bite is a lot more snappy so will have to get acustomed to been smooth again ½ the gear changes have gone when I get the Fiz out it feels like riding a penny farthing in comparrison to the 900 (anything over 20mph ur in top and still have the ability to keep up with the traffic & out accelerate without having to touch the gear lever) .. The Fiz (I know is only 50 odd cc) does spend a lot of its time up & down the box and as I live in a very hilly region it spends more time in second than anything else Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the MT has a close ratio 6 speed box where as the 900 Diversion has a wide space five speed box so it does require the lower gears to get it going, but I would not recomend pulling off in third cog on any bike as the strain on the transmission/clutch will cause some problems at some time in the future.
