When I'm sitting for 20 minutes I get a pain in the back of my right leg that becomes unbearable. I was hoping ...

Hi Colin welcome to the club! Nice bike you have there, congratulations! I think it's normal that they run a bit rough when the engine is cold. Don't expect much of it for the first 5 miles but when the engine is warm, it should perform great. If not it'll need to be taken care of by a mechanic who ...
