Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

bike passed MOT, with some advisrys,
chain stretched ( well thats v twin power for you )
front break line rubbing on mudgard ther is a wee bit of wear on the line but hardly notisible ( any one else have this problem ) 12 years from new and you can hardly see it i recon it will last another 12 years
front disks pulsing ( i explained about the rotor bobing things need cleaned, i renewd these rotors last year so now thinking going full floating mod )
but it passed :smt005
but after a firm ride on the way home with joy i used the last of my rear pad and had to come into land :smt003
not bad for a 12 year old bike me thinks and im keeping her for yet another year , joy :smt005

I had a car that got the same advisories for about 4 years. My mechabnic just said don't worry about 'em!

No ya noodle! I meant it had advisories that were the same year after year, not the same as your bike!







Nearly right tho cos it was an Austin Maestro!
