Hi Dave,

Thanks for the welcome 🙂

Yeah sorry, was going to post about the glitch in another thread but seeing as you asked, here goes.

So first time out, going up a duel carriageway at 70 mph for about 5 mins and had a loss of power. It was just like it ran out of fuel so i tried to keep it going in gear clutch out but speed was dropping, dropping down the gears in the hope it would wake up but speed still dropping so i moved to my left which is like a tiny hard shoulder section to get off the main carriageway and now im doing 22 mph then it gradually picked up speed as normal and was fine for the remainder of the 60 mile trip.

Now my initial thoughts were a fueling issue because the guy i bought the bike from only had it 4 months and it came with 3/4 of a tank but i have a feeling it might be E10. The bike is a bit sluggish so gear changes are around the 9 – 10k mark and it has this weird flat spot when you roll off the throttle and roll back on.

I have a receipt for the bike being serviced in March this year but i have read all about the bigger jets, coils, plugs etc etc so think this is the route i shall take but failing that a nice 250 motor i understand will go straight in LOL

Other thing i dont like is the harshness of the front suspension but with that said it still has its original tyres on it and i noticed some cracking between the treads however the tyre rubber still feels soft. While on the subject of tyres, is there any reason why my bike is a 2017 but the dates on the tyres are 2015 but no mention on the logbook saying its an import?

Sorry to rattle on but thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks,

John.
