When i bought mine last year, it handled like it was on rails, even though it had been stood for a good 12 months, it had part worn Bridgestones on when i got it.
After i had the top-end re-done last September, i fitted new Bridgestones but by the the bad weather was starting to set in, so i didn't use it very often.
On the odd times i have been out on it, it has occasionally stepped out on the rear, so might be a good idea to check the rear shock i think.
Nice one.
G ; )
People on here have mentioned a few times that the standard rear shock gets a bit weary from the 20,000 mile mark, so i should've taken the hint there to be honest, but as i've said before in all the bikes i've owned i've never had any known issues with shocks before so the problem kind of crept up on me gradually.
I was so ridiculously busy at work last year that i never even had time to get it sorted earlier either, i had to wait for the Xmas break to sort it out as i needed the bike on constant standby, i've still got 15 days holiday left to use in the next couple of months!! Bloody slave drivers! :whip
