Hi
Read a lot about the D6 which has alleviated some concerns - mid range vibration, spongey feel and soft brakes.
I have only had my D6 a couple of weeks and for one of those it was in the bike shop (main dealer
) ; apparently where the bike had been standing there was a lot of water in the tank, causing rusting, and the rust had clogged the carbs and fuel lines. Not a great start!
Anyway, now its running and seems to start fine, but it develops a rather loud ticking/knocking which gets more prominent and faster when you rev up the engine. Continues whether changing gear, in neutral or when riding. there is no 'feel', just the noise. Any suggestions?
Only other problems are turbulence (standard screen is terrible almost making me wish I'd bought a 600N...), rather lumpy running at below 2500 revs when hot, and more problematic starting when hot. Otherwise loving it when the rain stays away!
