thanks for all the replies. some food for thought there. I'm not sure if i can afford to redo the rear shock but i'll see. what tyres are recommended? bridgestone fitted from the bike are around £260. is this about right?
I've set the ball rolling. K&N oil and air filters on their way. got some oil and some rad flush, some gunk and lube for the chain and sourced a new sprocket nut at the dealers(not free! oh and they did say that there had hardly ever been anyone with the problem through their doors, but then i suppose in a way they would, although the guy didn't sound like he was a die hard company mechanic).
Also got myself a haynes manual..
can't wait to get started.....
