well i have torqued it up according to the manual, road tested straight for MOT. everything all feels good and no more irritating donking noise on bumpy surfaces. Flew straight thru MOT as well( been advised on the chain thats all). which am planning to do. just coudnt decide yet if upgrading to 520 is better i only used it for commuting to work.
