chaps, I know the 600 needs to be revved, but mine seems to need about 5K before waking up - is this normal?

Next point, in 2nd & 3rd gears there is occasionally a jolt at about 10,000rpm. Is this a fuelling fault, or possibly a gearbox problem?

Basically I have 6 weeks warrenty left - should I take it back and buy a brand new 636 (only cost me a grand more)... or what?!

cheers, Carl.

cheers Mel, I'm not too worried about what happens in Jan, but I am bothered if the 'box packs up outside of warrenty !!!!

The jolt seems to go away with some revving, so maybe dirt in the petrol?

Well I wanted the handling of a 600, without the running costs of a 900 or 1000cc machine (tyres, chain).

To be fair, the xjr was nice to ride, but not exactly the sharpest handling machine - and I like corners to be crisp and exciting. Not wallowy and nervous.

I would have been happy with the cbr, had this apparent flat spot not been there. It's a fine machine otherwise.

Reckon I'd get bored with anything in about a year, so it makes little difference !
