Been very busy at work trying to put the money back in the bank to pay for the petrol. i've invented perpetrol motion. No, i have had time to play and find some of it,s limits on the crap roads around here.Need me boost looking at, going up to the factory next friday for a check up. Don't know if any one else has the quirk as i never noticed it without LSD, there are a few roundabouts round our way that only have one exit, like a chicane and you can hit it without worrying bout another party. Anyway as you come out of this chicane(roundabout) applying power nice and smooth it will wiggle it's arse both ways before catapulting you to the next roundabout,never had that on the 3 demo rides without LSD.Apart from people bowing and paying homage to this god of cars its been sweet as a nut. Looking forward to next year for the 4 day Nurnburgring expidition. Don't forget Noble guys and girls the Bell inn at Horndon on the hill Sunday 11 am. Then we can all talk and look and drool.

The "wiggle" is indeed the LSD doing it's job - it's the transfer of torque that you feel

If you really push on you can get it doing it on the straights

Interesting you say that, because before I had the LSD I had a couple of horrible moments when applying power on wet roads, with the rear end lurching to one side. Managed a first chance at really lightning it up on damp roads with the LSD yesterday, and it tracked straight and true, so I just kept my foot in.

In my opion the "lurch" is actually just a very very small wiggle of the drivetrain - but because of the way the chassis is stuck together you "feel" it.

As Adrian says, my expierence is that if you just keep going it will stay dead true and it's very very easy to catch, as effectivly both wheels have the same traction. Without the LSD you get massive loss of traction on one side, causing great "tomfollery"

Best is to either find a very wide damp quite private road and play, or get out onto a track day when it's wet and play around!

I would never recommend finding the limits on a normal road, but then I'm probably a "safe chicken"
