Idle question (see what I did there ?)
« on: 13 July 2014, 11:52:48 pm »
When starting from cold, choke on, centre stand, my back wheel spins all by itself in neutral. You can stop it easy enough by hand / foot.

Stops once it's warmed up a bit.

Is this normal?
 :rolleyes

Yep, both my other bikes (srad600 and gpz550) do it.


It's just viscous drag of the oil.

Yup, still not made the jump to light speed with Ivan's kit. Must do that sometime.
