First ride of the year this morning on new M7. Can't get more than 3 or 4 miles per hour out of the thing? It took over a minute to get from one end of the driveway and back? :confused: Conditions were icey to say the least after the rain we had last night so maybe it was traction? Maybe clutching? Can't tell for sure as I can't seem to open the hood to check things out.

Any help is appreciated.

speedwerx is working on a kit, should be out soon. hang in there, she might loosen up a bit once you get a couple hundred yards on it.

If it's traction maybe a long track kit would help or if you insist on keeping the short track maybe a proper trail is what you need :beer:

Ask your wife to let some slack out on that rope that is tied around your neck! Might be losing circulation to your throttle thumb :eek:

first couple things that i would check would be the piston return springs, muffler bearing, and the headlight fluid level... between those three things you should find the problem

hahaha

Did you dig a pit? I dont like the looks of the conditions, could sluff easy, seeing as your riding solo there's no one to dig you out if it slides, very dangerous, lol:beer:
