Thanks for the input everyone.
Chain and sprocket kit should be getting done on the next month most likely - will leave well enough alone till then.
Had meant to clean/adjust and lube chain today (don't think the chain is too slack but like to do it myself after buying a bike + it's due after the distance I've ridden anyway) but I had someone here to look at the Versys (thankfully sold to the first to view it,so no messing) and then the missus dropped by after so never got a chance.
Few bits on the way this week (blue led instrument bulbs,led flasher relay,smoked led indicators and few other bits) that'll keep me busy along with the Heed crash bars which came late last week (screen came too which is now on - badly needed both for wind protection and aesthetics).
Interestingly enough (dunno if I mentioned it) when going to view the bike it was advertised as 40k on the clock (can't remember when vehicles here in Ireland switched to kmh clocks) and as it had mph as the prominent numbers I thought it was miles on the odo.
On the way home realised the trip matched the Kms Google stated for the journey.
Speedo face has 'redial uk' printed on it.
As the bike was originally sold on mainland UK,then into Northern Ireland and finally Ireland I assumed it was miles on the odo at first.
Has me thinking as to why the clock face was changed : continental original owner imported to UK or perhaps a parallel import from the the continent due to high demand in UK dealers back in the day?
I dunno,it's last two mots from the north pretty much tally up to were it's at now really but does have me thinking as to why the last owner had the clutch changed before 40k Kms?
Seems maybe a bit premature unless something was up with it.
No matter really as it runs and rides pretty spot on,long may it continue!
