[sharpo]

When I bought the bike it had allegedly done 14,000 miles and had a service at 7,500 and 13,500. It turns out that it's reading in Kilometers which is good cos I don't think the shims have ever been done so it's now booked in with Tim at Motodesigns in York and he is renowned for doing a proper job, I hope the rockers are ok, its actually done 20,000 kilometers.

I'll keep you posted.
