- Mine doesn't seem to be working. I've only had the bike since Thursday. I've spoken to a few people, there seem to be mixed opinions! One says it's a common problem, others say on Hondas it has to be absolutely baked to go up. Well when we got to Madeira Drive the other day it felt pretty warm but gauge still hadn't moved. Bearing in mind I had ridden it 45 mins to services, then down to the seafront which probably took an hour at a guess. Any thoughts? I've contacted the garage I bought it from and hopefully they can sort it, I just wondered what you lot had to say on the matter.
