Ahhh, the mighty GPX in October 2001Just had the 250 in for its 1000 km service. Now I find when it idles under
choke when cold, it gradually dies in the arse, and requires manual intervention
in the form of blipping the throttle. Eventually most of the time it stalls, and
needs restarting a few times.
This didn't happen before the service, the normal GPX over-revving under initial
starting was all that I encountered. This was countered by closing the choke
slightly, then it was fine in a couple of minutes. Now you have to stand next to
the bike and basically do the choke's job by yourself.
Also, I park the bike nose-in to the house, and have to reverse out. It seems
they have tightened the steering bearings, and as I turn the handlebars to the
extreme right there is a low-pitched squeak coming from somewhere in the
bearing.
Worth taking back to the shop?
