Always best to remove mudguard and air filter to plug hole prior to washing bike. Or at least inspect airbox and filter afterward. Steering head bearings too!

February 8, 201115 yr cheers mate thanks, is there any adjustment in the rear shock, not had chance to have a good look around yet. Should be a damping adjustment screw on the bottom rear. Hard to spot.
February 8, 201115 yr Just wondering if there are any common problems with them Yes I've noticed that I have to keep putting fuel in the tank ... but can't figure out why You've bought a great bike so you can relax (a little). Best of balance. Neo
February 18, 201115 yr yeah great bike, no need to hammer it on the revs just point and squirt and feel it pull your arms off! Just keep on top of maintenance, take it apart to clean and grease.
