Kevin,
Went out for a short ride this AM. About 50 minutes in, I pulled into a parking lot, switched the bike off, and tried the kick start. Two kicks was all it took. Takes me back!
How closely did you follow the RE handbook break in on your bike? I have just 165km on mine so far (Canada). I hope to put on the full 2000km this season to have the bike fully rideable. This was only our second non-rain day so far. I will be getting wet on the bike, just not as much fun!
Chris
