    Next: Sort the gear change...

    So, with the starter sorted, next in line is the gear change. It was like waving a dead fish in a gale... A quick look at the turret revealed the cause: So, splashed out on a SlickShift kit with a new turret, set springs etc. Easy job, gear change sorted - really snappy now - almost like a...
