I just hit 550 miles on the bike & she´s probably going into the shop yet again. It´s running better now, but I think the spark plugs need replacing as it takes 5 minutes to start. shaking the bike to get new gas or topping it up with a gerry can make start-up a lot faster. Again, it doesn´t like short distances, but it was still having problems starting after taking it for 4 runs of about 8 miles each this weekend. It still surges when it runs, but not as badly as before. The alarm has been striped off too. It´s been to the shop 8 times now, but if it started better, it might be alright.
