good idea by model year:
- Sommer´s neoprene gaiters protect the fork seals.
my list excludes bits that fall off from the vibrations
2000 - New
- 100 miles rocker cover had hairline crack so oil leaked out - warranty.
- 2,000 it vibrated so much i couldn't hold my teeth together so sold it.
2000 - secondhand
- 5,000 miles - front wheel bearings changed
2003 - new
30,000 km - front wheel bearings changed
28,000 km - top triple clamp cracked
(probably overtightened bolts)
26,000 km - gearbox output seal changed
18,000 km steering head bearings changed
(too fast over millions of speed bumps)
10,500 km - gearbox output seal changed
