Ratman we have two, Ballamodha straight is 2miles long and mountain mile. No shortage of empty roads to test it out. It happened to me last night when I opened it up in 2nd gear and I thought then,I really need to get to the bottom of this very annoying fault.

 Do you actually have a stretch o straight road on the Ilse that lets you get to second gear? I need to look closely at a map of that place.....

I really will have to knuckle down and start looking for the fault,GB is sort of right since fitting the new seat I have sort of just taken it easy in second gear,as I just wanted to ride it. I will start looking soon I promise  ;)

Just Curious. Did you ever get it figured out?

The more I make the bike do it I really think it is electrical or fuel related but to be fair it will not write off anything until I have tried it.

Are there any additives in the engine oil? Teflon and other friction enhancers do slip the clutch and should not be used. I must say you would have found out soon enough, riding over a bump in the road, still this could be left unmentioned and there is quite a bit of cushioning from the dampers.

The clutch is also something I thought about right at first, because the clutch is a known problem on the 1500's.  But it doesn't really make sense it only happens in 2nd. 

Worn clutches can slip at low speed. In second gear is where I really expect to notice. This is supposedly happening when force is applied. The bike was ridden as a Christmas tree, only because it could? The owner must have had high demands and probably bought miracle oil.
