Always best to remove mudguard and air filter to plug hole prior to washing bike. Or at least inspect airbox and filter afterward. Steering head bearings too!

Should be a damping adjustment screw on the bottom rear. Hard to spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just wondering if there are any common problems with them Yes I've noticed that I have to keep putting fuel in the tank ... but can't figure out why You've bought a great bike so you can relax (a little). Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benc1980 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 yeah great bike, no need to hammer it on the revs just point and squirt and feel it pull your arms off! Just keep on top of maintenance, take it apart to clean and grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
