they are indeed a helpful bunch and have helped me massively. I have already fitted APE manual cam chain tensioners (within a week of owning it) and rebuilt the primary drive vibration damper (it rattled like hell). The bike purrs like a kitten and i dont have to worry about CCT's failing anymore.

i like it a lot, i would have one

Very nice! I'm madly jealous- but I'll save up for a later model with a bigger tank when I eventually get one.

To be honest now i have used it for a while its never been an issue, it is thirstier than the SV but the tank range is only about 20miles less.

CJ Ball have got a nice one, fully serviced including valves for a tad over the two grand mark. Its absoulutely mint

Mines coming on a treat with a few additions. I have sorted out the annoying rattle by rebuilding the vibration damper on the primary drive, sorted the steering head bearings out so they dont knock under breaking, sold the Micron carbon cans and replaced with high level Art Titanium ones (sound amazing and made a profit which was enough to but leathers with), fitted a Airblade double bubble screen, fitted VFR clipons for a better riding position. I think thats about it but i am 100% happy now i have it the way i want it. I have laid the bike up until March time because its just plain dangerous riding on theis icy salty rubbish but we will have to go for a ride out some time around then.
