the air filter on ebay was a k&n one, its £20, and seeing as theyre supposed to last so long, thats why i considered it.
its only 40 for new though, so, not a real biggy.
I live in an area that doesnt have hard water next to the pennines, but a rad flush with the chemichals would give me piece of mind. the reason the rad may need replacement is that the outlet pipe on the right side came off while adjusting the rubber pipe. ive repaired it with an epoxy based filler, and its not leaking but its on my list to replace at some point.
in terms of it being a poorly maintained bike, you may be right, we'll see, i payed a bit extra because it looked so clean. plus it was the model and colur scheme i wanted-first time ive bought the "one" rather than getting an mot fail, or a catc or the wrong colur etc.......which i the usual deal for us paupers.....
Having said all that I love the bike and i want to do right by it so if i cant afford the upgrades now, ill eventually get round to them.
I does have a DID chain fitted, so at least a BIT of cash has been spent on it.....(your going to tell me that they were fitted as standard now aint ya)
