    well, I bought the black low milage one (2k miles) and she delivered it to me yesterday pm in her hubby's van. I went out for a bimble just to get used to her and she was okay for the first few miles, then started coughing and spluttering. I spoke to Rob Jones https://www.facebook.com/pages/RJ-Ra...43110689089984
    who said the carb jests are probably blocked where it's been on it's side stand for the last year unridden. I've got it booked in for a service next weekend so can't ride it til then as it's cutting out at low revs. Boo!


    she is lush though..

    *cough* orange one *cough* :P

    If it's been stood without use then yes, the carb jets could well be blocked or varnished over with stale fuel deposits - doesn't take long for it to happen unfortunately - plugs will probably need replacing too - but then if it's in for a full service it'll all get done anyway

    Glad you like the bike though
