Thanks for letting me join as info seems limted on the 1125, i purchased mine at the tail end of winter from a dealer with a three month warranty to cover the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 TT. But when using the bike for the first time two weeks ago it ran like a slag when hot at low rpm. With the Barkers exhaust you sort of went from hero on the fly to zero at the traffic lights when it cut out.

At just shy of 6k miles i was the first person to find the plugs and the battery was shot so with the fans running we were out of volts real quick (charging circuit tested)

Last night we giggled are way to Weston bike night, thank you Erik

I’m bike mad and we think 53 of them have passed through my hands at just 36 years old, i find the normal conventional sort of bikes a little bland hence my new purchase bringing me here

Yes welcome, if you have Pash on your doorstep, it is either Bob a Job week, Trick or Treat or Carol singing. Last time Carol was singing on my doorstep I told her to bugger off.
