Take the wheels out and check the wheel bearings with your fingers, even if they're about to collapse you won't feel any play at the rim. Never ever get your tyres changed by someone who doesn't torque the spindles to spec (I torque them a little lower - don't worry your pinch bolts will secure the spindles
). The rear spindle is tapered and the belt gets slack as you undo it, so don't worry about the belt being tight.What year is it? The 08's don't have expensive to fix charging issues like the later models, but do have their own little 'quirks'. Once sorted, they're one of the best V twins out there and as good as anything Italian
I wouldn't be surprised if, in years to come, the Helicon becomes a classic motor like the high cam Vincent and the Suzuki TL
I'll be at work on Friday for the first time in nearly a fortnight
