Hi all at RSVzone.
Its my first time at the site so please go easy on me. I picked up my 1999 rsv mille on sunday from over on the east coast and rode it back to cheshire (almost 200mls). The bike is fantastic except for a couple of things. The clutch is quite heavy to pull in and its near impossible to get the bike into neutral with the engine running, even changing down through the gears require a big stomp on the gear lever. There is a really bad pulse on the front brake lever when the brake is applied, the guy i bought it from said it failed the mot last year on a warped disk and he had put the originals back on and it was ok. He gave me the wave disks he`s took off but i`ve not checked them out yet. Is there any know problems with either the clutch or the front brakes/disks.
Sorry to go on in my first post but i love the bike and just want to get it sorted.
Thanks for any advice
Paul
