Following the catastrophe of the totally bogus 'pristine' RSV engine from Belfast which effective put and end to my motorcycling days seven months ago (long story - but I was sold a pup, whether willfully or not is irrelevant now) - Signor Falco sits there awaiting just a few more quids...
Once I worked out why the engine wouldn't run I moved on to the 'slightly stiff' suspension... and while I was at it thought a paint refresh was in order - by which time the money ran out.
Just awaiting a new rear sprocket, chain and front tyre and I'll be mobile - and able to scare myself all over again getting familiar with The Awesome after a seven month break!

Ah bless - you went and had the bike repainted to match the Sachs suspension unit...
Seriously, I hope all your frustrations are behind you and you can fully enjoy one of the most criminally undervalued motorcycles ever made.

I'll second that.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
