What's wrong?
Mine started to f about again and it was just the neutral switch malfunctioning - went out for a 120 mile ride yesterday and was grinning all the way with the sound and torque - I think I've forgiven her again. Did miss the obscene speed of the GSXR1000 I tried though - but I'm still alive!

must be the un supported weight of the engine with no cradle to support it then, design error

Id say its not ment to take the abuse and stresses resulting from wheelies!
hardly a design fault!

Me too, i think the abuse this bike gets proberlly explains why it keeps breaking! Maybe i should treat her a little more gently!
