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...

Thanks, the shock and chain look a bit tatty close up but I'll be swapping them for nice shiny new ones soon.

I just had the tank off, the airbox has been done, I can't really get access to the ecu though to check the wire as the alarm blocks the access. I assume it has been done too though

Can someone remind me, is it possible to reset the total mileage anyway? I want to know for when I'm looking at bikes to make sure they've not been clocked

I was seriously thinking about that one, but it's the opposite end of the country to me so decided against it. Looks very sweet though.
