The ongoing saga

[simmo]

These bikes (gen1) are starting to get old , and things wear out etc. Most riders wont notice a gradual power decrease until it gets to the point were the bike wont start or run properly. But, by then the problems become compounded, and there's usually a list of things to fix.
Food for thought when you purchase your next gen1......

Hello Pan

I'm onto my 4th Gen 1 now. Never had a serious problem, apart from that one time when I tried to fix my own brakes .
Three of them have had well over 100,000km. The other was a Busa track bike, which had about 40 or 50,000km I think.
Of course, mine have all been pretty much stock (OEM).

Yep something is OEM on them somewhere & not everyone has Mr Hands Handy
4 th Gen1 you know how to wear them out then
