Re: gilera 125 rally r1 any info?
hi marco
the tickover rpm is a little erratic.sometimes the rpm rises for a while then returning to normal.
its probably the carburettor jets or settings.
apart from the above all is fine
thanks for all your help

Re: gilera 125 rally r1 any info?
hi all,
i took the bike out for a quick spin and all seems well,apart from a little hunting(rise and fall)at tickover. any ideas?
the rc 600 front end fits well and handles quite good.
