Nice looking bike!

Cheers for the welcomes...

The only issues i've come across in the first few days is the very top petrol bar not lighting up when i fill up. It does work as it comes on when i turn the ignition on, so maybe something not quite right with whatever detects the fuel level?

The only other annoying thing is the choke. I pull it out to start the bike, but it goes back in a few mm on it's own, which doesn't give it the engine enough revs to tick over. I'm having to stand there holding it out for a minute or so until the bike warms up. The amount of revs from the choke could be easily changed on my old bike - is it fairly simple on this?

Tighten the lock ring under the rubber hood behind the choke knob and it will lock it

welcome along sir, nice looking storm.

Cheers, i'll give it a try.

Battery was dead this morning!!

Its got an alarm and has only done a few hundred miles over the past 3/4 years, so i'm hoping its just the battery drained.
