Ok so I bought my heart’s desire and not sure!!!
Recently (march 2012) bought a 950 Adventer 2005 (54k on clock). Since I bought it had various problems:
- Master cylinder on clutch leaking so replaced with a kit (seems to be fine after pairs)
- Bike is using water – have been told it is leaking on the cylinder head gasket into the motor and disappearing through the exhaust. It has to be repaired.
- Past weekend while riding, accelerator cable broke.
- often bike does not start first off, and does not start easily, other time it kicks over easily.
I am fast losing confidence in the reliability of the bike. I do understand these bikes were meant to be driven in harsh conditions and will take a pounding thus needing repairs and maintenance.
Are these just run of the mill problem and I should persevere in having repairs done?
Or did I buy a lemon?
