Yeah , not on their web site . You have to call them - ask for Daniel Holt

PS I'm not affiliated / don't work for this company - just want to give them a good rap fro their products and services!

Rode it about 10 km around the neighbourhood the jetting is crap! Smooth enough until you give it a handful from steady throttle then it bogs down.
The shop was supposed to have fixed the jetting as part of the PDI , told me they were fitting a NECH needle which would provide a good result!
It will be heading back to the shop for them to sort it![/QUOTE]

Had all sorts of excuses from the dealer as to why it was running like crap (all my fault of course) and they would not come and collect the bike to sort it....

Ended up telling them I was bringing it in myself and I wouldn't be back to get it til it was running correctly.

They called me back the next day after i dropped it off ....they had left one of the restrictors in the air box ...hence the crap running!

They will be dropping it back next week.....we'll see if that's fixed it!

I believe my bike still has that plastic piece of shit in the air cleaner, what's it look like? That said, my bike runs fine

As for the shit running, mine ran like a turd from new. the culprit was a poorly adjusted power valve

Thanks for the replies.

Glad to hear it is not just my bike . According to the dealer this was "a new restrictor we have never see on this model before" LOL

I'll see if they can bring it when they drop the bike back so I can post a pic!

I took your advice a few posts back Rodent and tried adjusting the power valve (Just knocked it back from 2 turns out to 1.5 turns). Did not change the shit running.

What was the problem with the adjustment of your power valve and how did you fix it?

Thanks

You need to re-read the manual, you have adjusted the powervalve to not give you heaps of top end punch, you need 2+ turns to get the sucker hopping. Where is says "tighten" in red below it actually means CCW

Mine is set at 2 1/4 turns CCW.


Centrifugal external adjustment system
Adjustment of the pre-loading of the centrifugal spring

Dismantling and adjustment:
1. Remove the plug (1) with a 27mm wrench.
2. Secure the adjustment screw (2) with a 2.5mm Allen key and loosen the
locknut (3) with a 6mm angled spanner.
3. Tighten the screw (CW) (2) to the bottom and then tighten(CCW) according to the
recommendation table.

Assembly:
1. Secure the rotation of the adjustment screw (2) with a 2.5mm Allen key
and tighten the locknut (3) with a 6mm angled spanner in order to lock the
adjustment system.
2. Ensure the correct positioning and condition of the copper gasket (4) replace
the plug (1) and tighten with a 27mm spanner and a maximum torque of 25Nm.
Adjustment
Pre-load value
(mm)

Site conditions or circuit type Engine performance.
1 turn 14.2 (250/300) No grip (snow or mud) Power and RPM limitation.
1.5 turn 14.6 (250/300) Difficult grip or technical circuit Smooth power delivery
2 turns(standard) 15 (250/300) Correct grip or combination circuit Optimum/standard
2.5 turns 15.4 (250/300) Fast circuit Live engine
3 turns 15.8 (200/250/300) Very fast circuit Low torque at low RPM and aggressive engine
