    I don't know what to do for the best :confused: maybe I'm not letting ACF50 do its job properly. but surly reapplying after each wash should be ok? or is it just the bike that hates the rain salt and ice :D

    Seriously...?

    If this thing was real then don't you think the motorcycle helmet company would have jumped on it or someone like MCN would have done a article on it by now.

    Gel seats should be standard on all bike now days.Seats on bikes have been getting thinner and thinner over the years and nothing seems to change in that department. abs and comes as standard why not a gel seat.

    My reason for poor throttle control

    I drive a 26 years old mk2 golf GTI 16v with 210,000 miles on the clock with less rust lol great car to drive love it to bits but not as much fun as a bike.

    My reason for poor throttle control

    LOL or the titanic. At least the Alfa lasted a few years. I don't think this MT will last the 2 year warranty. there is more the shock is starting to rust and the break pipes clips also if i keep taking it back under warranty i might have a new bike at the end of the 2 years lolol
