How many miles have you clocked since getting your bike?

Alpha Male said:

I've done about 6500 km on my S and my wife has done about 1150 km on hers.

Both of our bikes have same problem - very hard to start the bikes crank and crank but never fires when it does they both die straight away but they both will start the 2nd time we press the start button again the engine tries to crank and crank again.

Weird? The stealership said this is normal

22,000 kms, 2013 1199S. I ride 3 or 4 times a week and live at the top of a range, always fun to go anywhere, I only got two months out of my last set of Pirellis.

Yeah, I may have to look at sometinhg else as well although I do like the Pirellis, good grip straight away so I am a little loathe to go to something unknown.

I agree the Pirelli's are great and I've been also using the Rosso Corsas during the winter months.
I already know a friend with a 1299 that has them as well as other riding mates doing the same rides with those Z7RR ...I will let you know how I go and what I reckon ...getting them next week [emoji106]

Are you waiting long enough after you turned the key to ignition before you turn the motor?

What did I mis ?....pass me the salt as I short shift my 570 ( the poor mans McLaren) into 3rd on my way to the waterfront to do my daily milf watching

Yours truly ...
