Warning!!!!

Well I also had the letter before Christmas. I have had the bike from second hand for about 4 months now and no problems at all. The bike is 2003 model with 60,ooo Kms on the clock.
I booked the bike in for the recall check and the guys here at Peter Stevens in Melbourne Australia new about the problem.
3 days before it was due (tomorrow it is due for the service) I was out riding, I got about 80 Kms out and everything died. Good job I was in the left hand lane and NOT overtaking at the time. The battery went totally flat, almost shorted out. I have just charged it up and it seems fine now, lets hope its good enough to travel the 25kms to the service shop.
I'll let you know what the actual prob was.

Have a safe ride all.

Simon
