How much is your FZS 1000 worth?

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]My mate has a Honda CB1000R and that is a delight to take the wheel off..[/color]

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] Its a single sided swing arm and the wheel is removed like you would remove a car wheel.. It leaves the chain AND the brakes alone and in situ..[/color]

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] That really is a brilliant design..[/color]

Gosh.  I thought you would have to slacken the chain to remove the wheel.  Another point for the CB1000R.  That is nice.

However all is not well in the CB1000R world..
My mate is having starting issues.. Its well known about on his forum but so far there are loads of theories but no one seems to have come up with the definite cure.. His bike is with Blackpool Honda at the moment, and it seems they are scratching their heads.. They've put new Iridium plugs in (Bike has done 21,000 miles) . I thought those VERY expensive plugs were meant to last ages ?? Still not cured though. I fear they are going to replace more and more parts till they "happen" upon a faulty part.

Doesn’t sound good.  But that must be the previous model.  Though is it just his bike, or are others stuck with this problem?
Here's one with an end can and a tail tidy.  Looks sweet.
