RB and Cranky, stop it, stop it, stop it! I love my Classic 500
RB did warn me and I’ve only had Ari for a few months. I don’t want your issues.
But here’s a wierd one. Twice now, I’ve started him, little warm up, jumped on, clutch in and it leapt forward and stalled.
Now, I don’t mean your bog standard sticky plates lurch forward, I’m talking leap forward and stall as if you didn’t have the clutch in!
Cable adjusted correctly, new quality oil, lever pulled in. It’s as if the bike was totally unaware of the cable and was in gear; it wasn’t.
Still, I see it as a foible. I want it to be perfect, but I just tell myself that new, mine wasn’t, £4200. That’s half the price of many other similar size bikes.
But... if I end up like you two, I might get a taxi to Beachy Head
