Fitted the bar end mirrors last night, one was wobbly and I presumed it was faulty but then read someone else had this issue and it just needed a tighten up so that was easy enough. Yes see what you mean about the fluid pods coming lose, had to leave the nuts in situ and will obtain some M8 (i think) cap bolts soon to neaten it off, should have been supplied really.


Had a good look at the bike and very pleased with the look. Struggling to find the battery charging lead near the rear shock. Not sure what that plastic ring is either on the right hand shock.


Hung back from work this morning to take it for its first proper ride. Took a couple of goes to get it started and then left it for 4-5 mins to warm up. Rode to end of road and stopped, engine cut out. Took a couple of goes to get it started then moved off, nearly fell off due to tight turning circle, will have to try and get used to that. Rode off, quite lumpy bumpy. Carried on for a couple of miles and when slowing down and changing down, kept feeling the bike cutting out which it kept doing when I came to junctions, noticed then a warning light which I guess was something to do with the engine management system. Fuel light then came on so continued to garage which was on way back. Filled her up which solved that light but still wanted to cut out on me at every junction and traffic light on the way home, had to call cars past me. Got me home and check manual and it says "Malfunction Indictaor Lamp". Not a great start, it was only just road tested on Tuesday.


Will phone Donnington to see what they suggest, I hope they come out to fix. Have a feeling my breakdown cover will be used.
