Running in the Majesty was a little trying Yamaha recommend no more than 1/3 throttle for the first 150Km. I guessed this at around 40mph. Between 150 and 500Km no more than 1/2 throttle. I guessed this at around 50mph. Between 500 and 1,000Km no more than 3/4 throttle. I keep it at 60mph.

For the first 100mls or so the clutch operation was not 100% smooth but this soon bedded in. The rear suspension came set at the middle of 5 settings. I found this to be much too hard for the horrible roads we have in Hull E.Yorkshire and I now run it on the softest setting. Potholes still are a problem and often I find myself having to re-postition myself on the seat after hitting a bad one. It has to be said the Majesty is much more comfortable 2 up.

One good thing about the Majesty is the raised position of the passenger footrests. This enables our 8 year old little girl Jenny to ride pillion with no problems. I was a little concerned she may be nervous about going on the bike but my fears were allayed - she loves it!
