Welcome, I ride a 2000 M600 too and the main problem I used to have in the winter was carb icing until I found the carb heater and started using pro FST Also had trouble with it over revving in the rain, that seems to be a throttle problem though.........something sticking!!

Carb icing is the only problem I've come across but it's a negative that's definately outweighed by all the positives. You just have to learn to deal with it by keeping the revs up when you slow down and/or give yourself time to allow the engine to stall and you to restart it. Plus use Pro FST and super unleaded petrol. Ride mine all year round and definately would recomend one.

Hello Mark,
Welcome, glad you followed my advice on VD (the forum not the disease!) We're a reet friendly bunch here, always happy to help. Honest (albeit biased in favour of the coolest bike in town) opinions will be given. Like I've already said elsewhere get one, you won't regret it. |

Enjoy the bike and like others have said - you'll be an addict in no time - they're special bikes and the grin they induce is wide - different to anything else....
