Yea

Don't worry about it

 

[Frankh]

normal when first starting up and tickover is high and oil is cold and thicker, if you do the same after a good run the wheel will stay still me thinks.

 

[Giles]

Yep - mine does that ...... nothing to worry about ...

 

[Kev B]

Normal.D'ont worry.

...I think "No biting, scratching or hitting with handbags. " would be more appropriate here....

 

[elevensies]

they are a different beast the 1150 and 1200

but i console myself in the true belief that the 1200gsa is just a 1100 with a body kit.

I worry when it won't spin because it usually means the rear brakes siezing up again.
