Hi-ho neighbour,

Get the cam-belts changed now if the bikes been stood for more than a few months or you aren't sure they've been done in the last 12K miles/2 years. If in doubt, better safe than sorry.
Check out Rosso Corse @Bow or Tec-Moto @Harold Hill if you're not up to the job yourself.

All the best.

are tec-moto good as thats about 5 min drive from me.

the bike has done 3500 miles so will it be a while before belts etc

Tec-Moto are top notch.
The belts have a 2 year life regardless of mileage. Also are prone to 'set' ie will take on the shape of the pulleys if the bike is not run regularly. If I thought the bike has been stood for 6 months, I'd get 'em changed to be on the safe side... still cheaper than a new top-end if one snaps.

..........so am i going to regret not going jap ????........


Hiya,

I've owned my bike a couple of years now and if I said it's been trouble free I would be lying. I've had a couple of problems (nothing major) and have a little niggle that I'm trying to sort at the moment which is only dragging on due to work commitments.

Have I regretted not going Jap.................not at all. The Jap bike in my garage aint been out in a couple of years.

I doubt you'll regret a thing. All I can do is back up what has been said.......GET THE BELTS CHANGED :D
