After being very happy with my Alien Pulsar folder, I have been on the lookout for an Aurora second hand for a while. Finally found one and picked it up on the weekend
Got a good deal - travelled over 200miles to collect!
Haven't had a chance to check it out in detail, but my initial inspection and test rides have (so far) picked up the following:
The handlebar has some play in one of the joints - must locate this.
The sprung seat post has a bit of radial play in it - will change for an unsprung one.
The battery rack is missing 2 screws/bolts, so it rattles and bounces! Must fix that ASAP!
The rear light doesn't work - probably loose wiring - will sort that out when I get time.
Missing mudguards - which are the best fit for this bike?
The motor is a very different feel to the Pulsar. Makes a different sound and is a lot smoother, except at initial take-up, is feels "nervous" for lack of a better description. Is this normal?
Weird thing is, the Aurora feels slower than my pulsar. Must wire up the speedo and see what the figures say...
Anyway, looking forward to sorting it all out and enjoying the new addition to the family!
