I had an early John Shirt MAJESTY 320 and that ran backwards in a section... once!!!

Scared me witless.

John reset the timing and it never ran backwards again...

Unless you have a Harley and you accidentally selected reverse... :thumbup:

I seem to recall someone experiencing this condition a long time back. I cannot recall if is was the coil/box or the stator that caused it.

Obviously the coil/ box is the easiest to try first. Depending upon your location, a call to MRS may help firm up this info. :thumbup:

i had a new stator fitted in september

wonder if that is the problem i will give the shop a ring where i got it fitted from

thanks josh

Short of learning to ride with your hands behind your back...

suggest you check for a loose flywheel nut and/or a sheared flywheel key,

and while you have the flywheel off check the position of the stator plate and timing mark.

Yea, agree, as in that case may have slipped a widget! :thumbup:
