This is just a little rant to anybody out there that knows how I feel,
I had my pride and joy serviced the other day as I had just baught her and wanted to ensure that evrything was mechanically and spiritualy sound. I was assured by the mechanic that I had entrusted my baby to that it was. So I was happy. However After a few days of riding around in blissfull extacy I noticed that my darling was backfiring rather excessivly and would cut out every once in a while until she was slightly warmer. I did a bit of reading on this and poked around a bit myself. only to find that Horror of all horrors she was only running on one cilinder!! After being ashoured by said mechanic that no everything will be fine! nedless to say I had a word or two with him, anyway I feel better now. knowing that my bike is running on both cilinders again.
It does however prove one point and that is that I know I can now if i must run my bike on one cilinder.
cheers
