Thanks guys, appreciate it.

I'm about to start the valve clearance job on my GTR, what are the parts I definitely need to order? I'll change the spark plugs as well. The bike is an 07 and has done 25,556 miles. I believe the check should be carried out at 26000mls.
 

Cheers guys

Welcome, fairly new myself, you'll love the 1400 

Thanks guys very interesting, few thousand to go yet, I've done my own on other bikes, will have a good think .................

Is this not a DIY job, asking as I'd planned on doing it myself when the time comes.

I've notice the 1400 is sometimes very sensitive to getting back on the throttle, quite snatchy, is it mine or "they all do that"?

couple of snaps

Cheers Rusty

Hi all,
Back from our France trip to my brothers, really pleased with the 1400. Very comfortable no trouble doing the 200 miles between fuel stops, handled really well when fully loaded, engine was sublime, we had horrendous rain nearly all the way home from Folkestone she never faulted. Returned 51mpg over the whole journey, I think that is bloody good as it's a lot of motorway travel ..... including a speeding fine in France!!........... the letter arrived a few days after we got home.
Any of you thinking of a European trip DO IT! the bike is perfect.

 

Hi Pross,
All I did was click on the Attachments button at the bottom of the Reply screen, then select the two pictures from my hard drive. Does that not normally work?

 

First attempt at posting pictures ...........

Thanks Rusty, really enjoying the bike, off to my brothers in mid France on the 10th August, can't wait. 

Thanks for the info people
