  1. Yep.... and my gang missed the bike courier.... could have got good money for the suspension, frame and bodywork....... @finm wanted the broken con rods and bent valves.... but he's strange.

  3. Good news. But mine has back fired ocasionally when starting it, but it's a very obvious backfire, nothing like the symptoms you described. Very strange.

    Or maybe that's the normal sound of Akra's compared to the superior Termignonis :cool:
     
  4. Yes I am well puzzled - they have found nothing at all amiss but I have just asked them to drop the oil and pop a camera in and check the magnets - if all ok I will ship it back and hopefully forget about it :Nailbiting:

  5. On so many levels this is the best news i've heard all day.
     
  6. hmm, no so sure. maybe still something going on. something is telling me a rod will come out to play a day or two after the warranty expires. :Nailbiting:. maybe better to hang it on a wall or sumit.

  9. Fair play to MR for getting straight on it though. Must be busy in their workshop this time of year.

  12. Can't fault service like that. Honest dealers seem to be few and far between having read through some of the threads on here since joining!

  14. That is indeed good news. Phew! Mine always makes a funny decompression noise when I knock it off. Like a little death rattle. I guess it's the gargantuan pistons setting themselves after valve position.
    Anyhow, after you've paid van man for his tour of England, get on the damn thing and wring its bloody neck! You won't be disappointed!
