Well, after 2 months sat in the garage, and alot of work, the Falco is going in for a major service tomorrow. I've done the brakes, changed the wheels and forks, but what can I expect them to go over? Bike has done just short of 23K, but the previous owner had it in a garage not getting used for over a year. Anything to look out for?

major thing they should do is valve check

Excellent. I'm going to get them to go over everything just in case I have missed something. Fitted the R&G upper crash bungs, what a right pain. Left side wouldn't fit without squashing the fan into the radiator, so I had to remove some of the plastic sleeve, and re route the oil cooler pipe. Not the easiest of jobs in situ.
