Just ready to go in for my first service ( 1600km) now.

I've done a few mods to the bike myself - FS Tensioner, Output shafter oiler, breather re-route, heat barrier, sliders etc. I dont think they'll affect warranty as they looked at them and said "yeah ok".

So far so good - great poke - nice and comfy.

Worst comes to worst there is always Maz or Tubbs in the uk for repairs !!

Eric.
