Rear brake never been used?
Looks like it needs work.

Has he taken the odometer in km? I know I don't tend to use the rear brake too much, but it is never that bad, and I stand to be corrected, but the chain kind of looks the same colour

Probably right, cold night's settling in and morning dew won't help.

Some have done 100,000 but whether that has really done 76k or they've added an extra zero in error, I don't know.
Looks rough and those stickers are horrible (wonder what they're hiding).
Seen far better examples at much better prices.

No thats a different one to the one i was thinking of. The one i seen had the standard cans with termignoni stickers on it, and was riddled in Dunlop stickers.

Probably seized pistons - that'll ensure you never lock the brakes

not sure if it is one of ours.....
using Motul semi 15/50
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...
