So...had the bike a couple of months. Standard apart from. Akras. So far it starts every time..the brown connectors are clean as a pin...clutch is fine..can get neutral, back brake is adequate. Standard gearing. I bought another battery, uprated leads and the jet for the clutch and haven't fitted any of it. Am just lucky...  Bought the bike expecting a few problems... but have to say there has been none whatsoever! Absolutely love it! |

Now you've done it. Having had 2 Gen 1's and 1 Gen2 and a Ducati, none of which have broken down just the old niggle, I can confirm they are not all bad if you look after them. Not as ride and forget as a Honda maybe but twiddling is part of the fun.
