    Hi all hope this helps, alter suspension set up, no scraping of side stand, increase idle speed screw right hand side until a few miles covered then turn back, no stalling issues, wipe all you can see and liberal spray on springs with A quality Rust protection and I put some on a quality cloth and wiped all the bike Topped up with a quality polish no rust yet, always pull cold leaver and clutch to start ensure your in neutral also even if clutch in helps this will get better after a few hundred miles now no problems, also the same with finding neutral I am finding the gearbox really nice now. The gears are close just need a bit of riding and plenty of changes in the early days , I dipped into my pocket and got the CCM paddock stand it’s great and matches and holds the bike perfectly.

    Not a expert at all but all of the above as helped me I have a few other bikes as-well and do a lot of miles all year round So quite used to protecting and sorting out all my bikes individuality.

    Stay safe Ride safe enjoy 😉 😁👍

    Hey Jukses I have all them same issues with my bobber. It’s always stalled since I had it. Got to the point where I only take it on the motorway. Fed up with it stalling as I gear down to stop at the lights or going round roundabout’s etc.

    Hi mike
    As I said not sure if in the early days the idle speed a bit erratic Running in tight and all that, I adjusted about 3 clockwise turns Increasing it and now after about 2000miles a lot steadier and turned back no longer stalls at gearing down? Hope this helps I Am sure if you contact CCM they will help.

    Stay safe, ride safe, enjoy
