Really? All that, and that is the reason for your posts?
Look, noone is doubting the smiles-per-mile ratio, but six weeks back at the shop (two times) within the first few thousand miles, is perfectly fine because it puts a smile on your face when you do have it, and it's working?
Excellent, we have now come full circle with people arguing that anything is acceptable because when it does work, it puts a smile on one's face.
I suppose i should be sorry if my post was inadequate in your opinion. But i am not. It was only meant to try and explain the reasons for variation in levels of whine and a bit of my experience of the issue.
Your responses seem unnecessarily aggressive to me.
Personally i am not interested in protracted semantic and personal arguments, i am interested in knowledge shared that improves my experience in owning and running my 3 wheeler and helping other people to enjoy theirs.
