Yes, any ideas on the cause?

FWIW I use suttons for convenience but my local Yamaha dealer is always cheaper...

*****any ideas on the cause?*****

Grand Prix starts all the time...

My dad says it was just the final 50 miles, he was shocked it didn't lock the back wheel. I have been careful not to start to be a boy racer

When I experienced the same problem it caused the the belt to slip (and squeal a hell of a lot!) from a standing start but once the revs had risen it was fine, it was a bit embarrassing at busy junctions around town. I wondered if it had been caused by a previous owner revving the tits off it whilst stationary with the brakes on as I hadn't had it that long when the problem arose and I'd been fairly gentle whilst getting used to the bike.

Having a mivv city gp exhaust doesn't help, when next to a boy racer you HAVE to rev, sorry.

It's better to let THEM get on with the macho engine revving then leave them for dead when the lights change!
