Are you still waiting for your superlight or did you not proceed.
Regardless of the quality of repair or thoroughness of rectifying the issues, I have completely lost confidence in the bike - cutting out completely at 70mph in the outside lane of the A14 whilst overtaking a lorry will do that!
just the entire summer break!Blimey, there's definately a negative vibe going on at the moment, staff changes at HQ like Clem, Rob, Olivia and Ash but every company has its changes. But I guess most new 961 owners have had issues but to be fair they have been sorted. But that's a long time to be without it Eljahara. They won't like reading these forums but they need to and they need to get a grip on quality and learn and keep on top of suppliers. I really want to keep my 961 but as said previoulsy, it must be reliable
Richard,I had that issue initially when pulling the clutch in to change gear, I had to keep blipping the throttle and at roundabouts/traffic lights etc. But it was resolved after the remap, decat and short pipes. But I think you have already had that done so dissapointing.
Jeez, that must have been incredibly scary. My friends uncle had that happen to him in a Jaguar. He pulled into the hard shoulder, called a recovery service to tow him to a garage. When the driver showed up he said it was a very common known problem on that model. It got fixed then happened again - he got rid of the Jag. Very scary in a car but immeasurably worse on a bike. No wonder you’ve lost confidence.Regardless of the quality of repair or thoroughness of rectifying the issues, I have completely lost confidence in the bike - cutting out completely at 70mph in the outside lane of the A14 whilst overtaking a lorry will do that!

“ the thought police” will be next , just thinking bout going fast round the twisty B roads will land us in Room 101Apparently this cutting out issue is a glitch in the upcoming Euro5 software...
It is intended so the Eurocrats can remotely send a 1-2 second disable signal when their new system detects any citizens having more than the EU allowed amount of fun.
Anyone detected of experiencing any sense of freedom gets the full system shutdown signal.
Euro6 will be even better. It incorporates key design aspects from George Orwell ...
Richard,
When I say “cut out” I mean completely - no ignition, the lcd panel went blank, Speedo and rev counter both dropped to zero - it was like the key was not in and all at 70mph. I quickly pulled the clutch in and freewheeled to a stop in the inside lane with the lorry I had just overtaken letting me know how close he was to taking me out!
Bloody scary (and yes Adrenalin is brown)
they’ve had it since 23rd July, really? Well that’s also very concerning. I hope I’m wrong, but that makes me think they don’t know / can’t find out what it is, which would worry me even more...
I am out.
Just waiting for it to be returned from the factory before sale or trade in.
As Steve said...
For me, things get worrisome only if your safety when riding becomes a factor.
