Hi
Ive just bought a Blue 2002 Falco after having a hornet 600 and Im loving the grunty V twin

Bought one about a year and a half ago on ebay, nut when it arrived it was overheating so bad that it was displaying LLL

Turned out to be a bust left rad, but not being sure how long it had been rideen at this temp, I sent it back.
Anyway, looks like there is some good info and experience on here
Pete

Youre doomed.. Theyve smelt new blood with a credit card..

Prepare for lots of time fettling and altering stuff...

Good move chap - I've also hopped over from Hornet ownership. Twins are lovely!

Welcome aboard Pete. Another blue one; you will find various theories that black ones are the fastest or was that red ones?

Anyway we all know that blue is the coolest colour (looking through my Azure tinted spectacles as I do)

All the best,

it's the red ones.

Hi Petel,

Another Falco newbie from Sheffield - excellent! This site is a lifesaver and the peeps are very helpful. You've come to the right place (and bought the right bike!)

Welcome, only had my falco for a few months but have really enjoyed the bike and benefited from the collective wisdom around here.
