One thing I have noticed, when I start her up, and this has happened both times, there is alot of exhaust smoke when starting from cold. Also each time she has stalled just after starting and pulling off. Once started again she was fine on both rides and when warmed up no problems. Maybe this is something that I can have looked at when I arrange its one year service but is this usual or might it be something that needs to be sorted?
I have never had any problems starting from cold or with any excess exhaust smoke. I'm sure it will be something the garage can sort out quickly. It would be worth giving your service agent a ring asap to put your mind at rest

I usually get about 85 miles to a tank but I went to the Bristol autofest at the weekend on A & B roads and managed 102 miles before I filled up which is a record for me. The warning light hadn't even come on and I still had about £3.50 worth of fuel left in.
