Just started my bike after sitting 5 weeks idle (I'm off sick) and let it tickover for about 8 mins to get the juices flowing, and after about 4mins the needle was virtually static around the 1150rpm mark, maybe 1mm play in it.Bike's same year as both of yours but mine's on 44K miles, compared to the OP's 17K.I'm not getting "pissy" about anything, just informing you of what I just saw, before I take it up for an MOT and a new front tyre.
