Hi All,
Just thought that I would give an update. I arrived first thing Saturday morning, and the bike had been charged up and filled with 1/2 tank of petrol. I took it for a test ride, and cam back with a couple of reservations. The first was that the engine "ticked", which appeared to be cam chain noise. (the bike had 32K miles on the clock). The second was that the front end felt skittish at 70 mph, seemed to be hopping left and right. Only very slightly, but enough to make me feel that I could not relax on the bike. Speaking to the technician afterwards, and he said that the front end was set up on the softest of the settings, so I couldn't blame it on the front end being too stiff for me. With that in mind, I walked away from this bike, but will still be looking out for one. If anyone can offer any advice on FJR1300's that would be much appreciated. Many thanks, John
