640 advt.problems
The only problems I had with my 2004 640 advt. was:
5000km Leaking fork seal after 3500km of badly corrageted gravel roads and station tracks in the Pibarra region of N.W. Wester Australia.
9500km Slight weeping of oil from the cam cover seal - replaced under warranty with no problems they even gave me a loaner bike for the day whilst the seal was changed [ Thanks Motorcycle City.]
I have found this a fantastic bike for gravel road and dirt track touring.
My wife was also on this trip riding here 640 hard enduro fitted with the 18 litre tank and also had only minor problems eg:blown headlight globes x 2 and a minor oil leak and 3 broken front wheel spokes.[ we had spares]
I have found these 640 bikes to be ultra reliable and economical 520 km range from the advt. on gravel and loose dirt mix at speeds averaging 80 to 100kmh.
These bikes have been riden hard and well prepared and maintaned but definatly not pampered.
