Review on my glady. Help needed for problems.
Yamaha Gladiator

Thx for your comments guys. I wanted to clarify about the clutch problem I mentioned. The jerking forward happens inspite of warming up the machine on cold starts. It happens only once when I shift into first gear at the beginning of the ride. The dealer explained that the clutch plate requires lubr...ication intially and engaging disengaging the clutch a few times before I shift into first will solve the problem. The problem still persists and I never had this problem with my previous bike, an RX135. Though I miss the exhilaration of riding an RX what I gained from my Glady were solid handling and stress free riding. And no, I do not have any problems using the self on cold starts. She purrs to life on a single crank. And no, I do not think referring to my glady in the feminine is odd. Guys do fall in love with their bikes, sometimes more than they do with their galfriends ;-)Read More

Hi. %0d%0aA new bike giving starting problems is not good. My glady is one month old and never gave me any starting problems. Even cold start with the self was instantaneous not requiring more than a crank. And if the disk brake gives a squealing sound it must be dirt in the disks. A simple wipe in ...the disc could solve it. Beware, after a hard brake during rides it could be hot for a few mins. So let us know if all your problems got sorted with the dealer.%0d%0aCheers%0d%0aJulian.Read More
