Lots of people have opinions about V-Due's, many negative, and there's a lot of conflicting 'knowledge' about what's actually wrong with the design and what needs to be done to get 'em running right.
I bet most of the people have no actual experience of one and are just repeating what they've heard or read somewhere. Reminds me of my 3MA - lots of horror stories and misinformation out there, take it all with a big pinch of salt though. I'll get my info direct from the owners ta.
Call me weird, but - like the 3MA - a reputation for flawed design, fragility or a troublesome ownership experience just makes me want one even more. |
I agree. I also own a 3MA. When I bought it, it was seizeid and had a twisted crankshaft. After a serious rebuilding and setting up the carb, it is much more reliable than my previous RGV's _________________ NS400R, YSR50, YSR125, Banshee, TDR250, KTM 500MX, Bimota V-Due, TDR80, Harris Rotax 250... |

Well the old girl flew through the MOT today, only problem was the rear brake light presure switch, which needs the strength of a pmt'd gorilla to make it work. Will have to remove it and get a replacement. |
