Smoooothly done!

I must say that's a very dodgy way of trying to increase your fuel efficiency Laughing

Not that I make any sense what so ever.

Similar to the whole side stand cut off thing that catch so many out.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

I know that feeling, riding home 15 miles having to rev it everytime i stopped anywhere or it would stall, and thinking that it was knackered, only to think when i'm nearly home, what could have happend while i was parked up, it started fine and was ok when i first left *oh fuck* looks down, D'oh!

I once tried everything within my power to get a bike started that had a big red engine cut off switch on the handle bars that I was completely oblivious to.

I even managed to get the engine firing trying to hill start it down a massively steep hill (the compression must have gotten high enough to ignite the fuel without even the need for spark plugs help).

Then I had to push the damn thing back up to the top of the hill again Laughing

Then I discovered what an engine cut off switch was Sad
