What to believe???????? Hello I have recently been offered a 2002 999 with 3000 miles on the clock with only 2 owners. This particular bike is in perfect unmarked condition and I am very tempted to purchase it. However I have been advised by someone who services them for a living to leave well alone!!! He advised that pre 2006 999's should be avoided due to the following problems: 1. Weak/faulty main engine bearings 2. Faulty alternators (the bike does have a flat battery, which makes me wary) 3. Electrical problems with immobilisers, coils and clock assemblies. 4. Weak/cracking swinging arm assemblies. Any advise in agreement or disagreement would be very much appreciated. Did the 749 have similar issues? Many thanks Richard |
