Potential problem?
Hello All,
Thought I might pick your collective brains. I'm not very mechanically
minded and prefer bikes that I can just get on and go. Motorcycling
for me is the equivalent of golf i.e. therapy and the opportunity to
get away from the cellphone!
I've had my Sprint for eight months now, covered some 5,000 kms and
love it. Haven't have any problems apart from the well publicised fuel
gauge issues and having the engine cut out three times when dropping
from second to first in very tight corners. Most disconcerting!
Anyway, last weekend, and as luck would have it, in the company of
another 550 or so other bikes, mine stalled in first gear from a
standing start whilst accelerating across a busy intersection. I was
not changing gear and had already built up speed.
I had put this down to user error but a little while later, during the
tight'n'twisty stage of the same ride, I could hear a light retort
when I changed down whilst cornering. Not quite a bang, like a
slapping a heavy plastic bag and not every corner - just some.
On the straights and wider corners no problem but I have the suspicion
of a little more vibration but I could be imagining it.
Anyone with any ideas? Need I worry? Should I take it in to my dealer
who is about one and a half hours away?
Suggestions appreciated.
Best regards,
Steve mailto:spcole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
