Faults:

Fork stanchions badly oxidised within a couple of years, despite a lack of salted roads round here.

Original grey / red seat gets really grubby and can't be cleaned.

Eats rear brake pads almost as fast as rear tyres.

Shaft broke at 81,000kms.

General Comments:

A great do it all motorbike. Amazing tank range of over 400kms with the 30L tank option. Great for trips in remote areas.

Big heavy bike, but handles very well once on the move.

ABS servo brakes are astonishingly powerful, and bring the bike to a stop quickly. They ARE however, "grabby" at low speeds.

Once the bike is full of petrol, low speed maneuvres can be tricky with the high centre of gravity.

Routine maintenance is straightforward enough, only thing I haven't touched is the ABS braking system.

Front tyres last 12,000kms, rear 10,000kms.

Average consumption 6L/100kms.

Great bike for two up as the telelever front suspension isn't affected much by passengers. Seems to cope easily with full luggage loads on panniers and top box too.
