After 1200 odd ks and 30 somethin hours I still have trouble starting in gear, never had that on any other bike, I was told it would loosen up and be O.K but still the same, however if I do get it started in gear it doesn’t want to take off on me? It’s only really a pain when stuck on a narly hill trying to find neutral, I actually flattened the battery on one ride trying to get it started.
I don’t think it’s normal and may speak to suttos again.
Cheers
Chris.
