This one might have been done to death, but is there anyone out there with a 2013 OTK EVK and variants, whom can give us an unbiased truthful performance comparison from 2012 chassis to 2013?
Apart from being able to get the cap off we are not bothered about the new tank shape!
The brake master cylinder is one piece rather than two; are the internals the same - they seem to be as there are no separate internals parts listed for 2013. So on that basis the braking performance should be the same in that dept.
The pedals are different, maybe the pedal position and rod connection point can be played about with a bit more which could improve performance, I have heard of one or two pedals snapping at the hinge joint and drivers were advertising for a 'new / unused' 2012 OTK without the new pedals!
I heard the front geometry is different and turn in is 'better' / different, people with jigs with front yoke angle jigs would pick this change up.
Different steering wheel is cosmetic.
Floor tray only fixed centrally at the front with rubber 'buffers' to the front side, suppose this is to allow more flex, could convert a 2012 doing the same, fixing through the footrest frame support.
Have heard the 2013 frame has more flex in it over the 2012, but also and as a result they will 'go off' faster and be 'useless' after a few meetings!! - all personal opinion - not my opinion!
Weren't the 2013's suppose to have new rear axle bearings similar to the SKF bearings which have no grub screws on the axle - just a split sleave with grub screws on a ring? I haven't seen these on any 2013 chassis??
Cheers
