Summoning the collective intel. again, please ladies and gents:

So, the usual story:

Man buys K7 bike 11 months ago. Man rides it. "Man have much fun, ride again".

Had the 600 mile service done at the dealers, the usual was replaced/refilled.

Nothing since, apart from a DIY oil change and some scottoiler addition (and topping up, of course).

Coming up to 6000 miles (and coincidentally 12 months).

What would be *your* primary concern?

(I have the manual, and I know what it says, just looking for opinions - i.e whats NOT in the book....)

Bike running fine, but seems a bit "ropey" when the fuel light is on when pulling away in <not first> gear (from a roll). Full tank, no problems, not ropey at all.

Clutch slipped a bit since last adjusted, so getting neutral is a minor problem again, but I can sort that easily.

Penny for your thoughts, gang...

I think I'd go to somewhere like Jordans near Boxhill, bite the bullet and get a service. No matter how I tried I couldn't get all the controls and throttle to work as well as they first used too, but after a dealer service it felt like a new bike.

That's very spooky....

Pulling into work this morning, I parked up and noticed my odo was on exactly 6000 miles...
