i would take it for a tune up fella

did you have any problems with stuck clutch/brakes or was it all free and is the 2 years genuine or is it what they told you

Not being funny but how old is the fuel in it?

The old stale shit can play havoc in it even when topped up with fresh!

id reckon on that aswell, try draining the fuel and filling up with some proper super unleaded, if it still like that then best off getting it set up by a pro.
