It was already running nicely when I got it - pulling right through the range - the only thing that took the smile off my face on the ride home was a very disconcerting scraping noise on the first three left-handers........then I put the side stand up.

I think the hi-comp pistons make it a lot harder to start first thing - lots of wheezing before it picks up.

Frank, I'm going to be up at Cornerspeed on Saturday if you want to see the bike - a lot close to you than East London!

cheers, Chi
