Methinks it is post-siesta syndrome. A lot of bikes from a certain Mediterranean country have had heaps of these irregularities... In my experience, of course. Ours are clearly not exempt, as Pleiades has correctly pointed out!

Once, many moons past, I was a Benelli sales geek (among other equally unsavoury activities). We uncrated a 650 twin and found an empty vino bottle. Everyone was annoyed. Could've sent a full one, the mongrels.
