| The CAN type wiring system has also been employed on the new bike (much was made of this when the 999 was launched) which greatly reduces the amount and complexity of the wiring. Re-siting the electrical components to the left hand side of the bike, also improved access to the cambelts which too reduces time and effort for servicing tasks. All these lessons have been employed and improved upon with the 1098 and comparitively it sports considerably less parts than the 916 and a few less than the 999, which all aids in reducing the work required to carry out formerly awkward and costly maintenance. |
