I am fairly certain that because the fault is serious enough that it could have potentially killed you, that you unequivocally entitled to a full refund and the police need to be made aware.Hi it was a private sale, the bloke seemed so genuine, when I questioned him yesterday in a text message he said he had never noticed it and he said it could be where he changed the levers to pazzo recently, I said it's not that or clutch related as all other gears and clutch bite is fine, I'll re try the bike later although I doubt it will have self healed over night, then I'll re contact the seller if there is definitely an issue and see where to go from there.
Another thing that springs to mind is the bike is not fit for purpose, due to a faulty gearbox. Also quoting the Consumer act -
"The vehicle must match the seller’s description, be roadworthy"
Clearly it dosen't, as the seller never mentioned the gearbox issue and as your not a trained mechanic you cannot be expected to spot such a serious fault, even less so as it dosen't happen all the time. So more info that seem relevant -
