my bike goes in for a service next week (4500 mile service), im actually nearly 375 miles over that and I have noticed the bike isnt as lively as usual! You twist the throttle hard, it does nothing for 1/2 a second then off it goes! Hope I havent broken anything!

Going to stop riding it until its service I think.

Heh, mine's somewhat overdue as well.. oddly, the bike cuts out on me occasionally.. Did it this morning on a roundabout so I had to coast all the way 'round it while trying to get him to restart... :?

MUST sort it this weekend... tempting Fate with no breakdown cover... :shock:

Yeah ive had that a few times aswell, I kept thinking I was stalling the bike! So I am somewhat paranoid at lights and giveway points too!

I imagine something like that is to do with the idle timing, which will be adjusted during the service.

Sort it our people! :lol:

It's every 4000 miles (or 6 months,) isn't it :?: Some do it at 3000, just to be on the safe side :D
