What is it that you DON'T like about your bike?

**MotoGirl** · 24th April 2009, 21:18

There are a couple of things wrong with my bike:

The clutch continuously needs bleeding, which results in it being impossible to find neutral when you're at a standstill
The rear brake has been known to fade into oblivion very, very quickly
The sidestand is on a poor angle, which makes the bike too upright. It can't be parked anywhere other than where it is dead flat. (Another KBer found his RSVR lying on its side because a breath of wind blew it over.)

I didnt like how long it took to big bore the 92 blade, but it sparked into life today so all is forgiven

Two things I hate about my Ducati....

1) Two neutrals

2) Its in about a bajillion pieces at TSS Motorcycles at the moment.

I miss it so badly I caught myself pausing a little too long in front of an ss in a bike park, looking at it longingly.

Would depend on wether it was a Bevel drive or not,if so theres plenty not to love but at the same time all is easily forgiven in the name of character,if not then what is there to love

Limited range can be a bit of a pain as cowboys can attest

Kinda tricky to fit anything bigger than a toothbrush.

But then, I wanted a sprotsbike, so those things are rather secondary considerations...

Me too..
There's no gear indicator
Footpegs are too high, though major leg pain for me takes about 3 hours..
Limited storage = very limited
Speedo error ...way out ( 10 % at lower speeds )

PLUS
The RV mirrors mostly reflect my arms!
