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 :smt009

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 :smt002

Could buy a decent one for that.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aprilia-Falco ... 416c8cb1f2

Although it appears relisted judging by the feedback :smt017

I have a feeling this is 'one of ours'..

Love the 'Will swap for RSV..'

Come to the darkside.. haha

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...
