Many thanks

Had one unbelievable ecomonony plenty of power goes stops as expected very little engine breaking belt final drive no hassle a little bland and I found it to be a rather small bike after a GSA 12 now on a rt. I don't know why they don't make a f800rt. They now do a gt version. I like a bit more fairing than the st but would ride another again JJH

Check for any play in the rear bearings where the wheel bolts onto the swingarm
Belt should be replaced at 25,000 miles and ain`t cheap
