I guess that a second hand model with a few miles on the clock, is possibly due a lubricant change?

I'll have to check and make sure a banana hasn't been shoved up the diff, to quieten the noise, in the past.

Did you find that the performance level was in the higher bracket when you had your model on appro, then fall off when you took ownership?

Oh, and check if this model has been recalled at any stage, you might have an out there

Good point. Something else to watch for...a lot of those warranties are 'Return to base'. Can you remember where you got it from?

Strange you mention that... A return trip to the lower island is happening this weekend!

Some say that the older models are better as they are looser and can run free'er, but when the seals are going and the fu-fu valve needs looking at, maybe it is time for drastic action! Depending on the age, Slick 50 could be worth trying? One option is to change brands entirely but I know KB'ers are a stubborn lot , some might even say faithful.

There is some truth in that. Mind you, none were ever made to just pop in the corner and look at. They have to be used regularly to ensure that they don't seize up. A spot of lube chucked in the intake* goes a long way to ensuring they will not disappoint you by lacking performance. Or, heaven forbid, actually breakdown, leaving you unable to complete your journey.

Have you let anyone else have a ride on it?

Always good to get a few more opinions.

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town.

People would say, "What a peaceful & loving couple"
The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
The Husband replied, "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America," explained the man.

"We visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse.

We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off.

My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's once."

"We proceeded a little further and her horse stumbled again. Again my wife quietly said, "That's twice."

We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time my wife quietly removed a revolver

from her purse and shot the horse dead.

I SHOUTED at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that, are you “f@#*! crazy!?"

She looked at ME, and quietly said, "That's once."

And from that moment "We have lived happily every after."

Mine does that every now and again. Normally if I block the noise out of my mind it goes away - even if only until the day after pay day. I've found that "outta sight...outta mind" works too.
