I followed the guy i bought my 650 off on a bike forum for a while and all he done was ask questions about fixing it and he had spent a hell of a lot trying to fix it, when i got it all i could find that would cause what he was whining about was a knackered chain. It was his first single after years on a fireblade and didn't realise they are lumpy and juddered when in too high a gear with low revs was normal, i had a good idea the problem was in his head when i went to buy it he didn't know i was following his whining LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
