Think I (possibly) found the starter issue...

Are you really running 125mm from the bottom of the chassis ?

Yep, at the front, and 150mm at the rear. The car gets used a lot on the road, and that ride height still only gives me about 90-95mm sump clearance...

Is (was?) yours the lowered chassis Simon?

Thats the same as mine F-125 R-150

What springs do you have. I'm on F-210lbs R-180. I did have 160 on the back but used to bottom out (esp when 2-up or loaded for touring) on big bumps. The 180's (and different shocks) have stopped that but I think I prefered the handling better overall before... think I might try the 160's again.

Mine is set for 75mm sump clearance, 20mm rake & 250lb front/220lb rear. Simon's was 300 front if I remember correctly. Obviously mine needs more spring lbs because of the 120-150Kg more the car weighs (620Kg).

HI Adam,
yes lowered chassis and handles like no other JP car that I have been in. ;)

but also it had a flat bottom so no sump issues to worry about.
