This engine is the tiniest one I've ridden behind since my '78 Civic, and that Civic had only half the weight to contend with. But the IMA - which continues to contribute despite the IMA light - makes the engine's output feel comparable to that of my truck. The power delivery is similar to what I'm already familiar with, the only sticking point is the feather-light clutch. Blimey, what a clutch.
Or, codes were cleared, and now they are popping up again.
