Ditto what Captain said.

Valve adjustments and tingling hands

My BCR has done about 2k, I'm having the same tingling sensation even when only riding the bike for 40 - 50 miles - had to have it back to replace the belly pan (thankfully under warranty - cos they are about £1k to replace) the dealer had a mechanic ride the bike and its nothing unusual, another chap at the garage had the same problem - the bikes need to do about 6-8k miles before this vibe disappears apparently -0 just another foible with the setup of the S!

Disappears! Reduces might be a better word. Mine has 24k on it and it still has it's buzzy days but, admittedly, it's a lot better than when I first got it.Bikerbear wrote:... the bikes need to do about 6-8k miles before this vibe disappears apparently - just another foible with the setup of the S!

Ditto what Adam said,10k was the water shed for me,it's rideable any distance,no matter how warm.
Thats why you see so many for sale with low miles,people can't be arsed to wait that long,and when someone asks about buying an S i always tell e'm secondhand with 6 to 8k at least.
I only tollerated mine because there wasn't any option,the Fazer thou didn't come out till six months after i bought it(secondhand with 1600 miles on it),and still remember rideing home thinking what the hell am i doing with this bag of spanners!!!!,i've had it over 4 years now and it's getting better by the year!!!.
