I just got my Burg 400 yesterday. I've never driven a bike in my life... but picked it up quite quickly today. Drove my route to work and back and the bike handled great. Oddly enough, I can't wait to commute to work every morning now!
Few questions for a newbie... sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I didn't see it:
1) I know it's always in drive... so is it okay to move the bike backwards when it's running? Will this mess up the tranny or something?
2) Does the bike have to be on the stand when you start it as the manual states? Or is this more a legal disclaimer for them.
3) My bike kept stalling every now and then as I drove it around today for the first time. Is this normal for a new engine? Also, some odd smells... which I assume are from the engine breaking in?
4) Are there any tricks to keeping this thing below 4K RPMs? I found it hard to do so when travelling at 35-40 MPH. It seemed to go a bit past 4k a few times. Is this okay?
5) I found a small disconnected hose feeding out the bottom of the bike. What does this do, drain something? It's not supposed to be connected to anything is it?
Sorry for all the questions,
