Wow - long time ago now, Mark! Well, I got lazy really. I had the bike in for service at Sydney City Motorcycles on Epping Road (the big 40,000km...
Ride it!!The high mileage isn't an issue with these bikes. If you're passionate about the bike, you'll take care of it. I bought my '98 model...
Welcome SJC! Have you just moved to Aus? I notice you"re flying a US "flag of origin" ...? Bronzey.
Thanks for that Echo. Not sure if its feasible to mail-order chain & sprocket kits downunder; unfortunately Orange County is not that close to...

Thanks guys. Some great tips there. Hey, the power outlet on the stem...how cool was that?? But how does the stem mount fixing actually work? It...

'course, I meant Exfirestorm's bit of kit, not Winaje's. Sorry, I'm new raound here.
