Mood: Ride with me, Ground Shaking comes as standard..
Newbie gets his ride!!

hey again everyone!

ive just had such a great day on my dark that i picked up this mornin! Was really really nervous when i first got on it.

Now after doing a coupla hundered miles i feel little better.

2 main things strived to dampen the experience today.

1 it stalled on me, as i pulled onto a round about and i was nearly stuffed from te rear! Oo er this happened on two occasions.

2 when pulling away, occasionaly the bike would let out a kind of yelp. Forgive my techincal ignorance, but it was the kind of noise you make if : Open your mouth as wide as it will go, then draw breath as if your attempting to make a noise and thats the kind of sound it made. Couldnt tell if it was the clutch or the suspension or engine? i really dont know. Any ideas?

Has anyone made a succesful modifcation to the side stand to make it easier to get down whlilst still sat on the bike? Im a shorty so have ha to get off the bike then get the stand down, by no means ideal. Plus the stand looks a bit weak.?

Overall though, what a bike! Sound, performance, handling, all seems of the top drawer.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.
