| hello finncoyle
I have a 748Bip on a p reg and although I don't think I would sell it I have had a few problems that would drive most normal people up the wall.
I bought the bike 3rd hand with FDSH with 8000 miles on the clock.
to list but a few. . . which I now understand to be normal for the age (some).
expansion tank cracked leaking coolant down the rad.
bulbs popping in tail light
breather leaking oil
oil switch
3 rockers replaced
alarm system blowing relays.
and last May just before Mallory main bearings went.
So after that I bought a 2001 engine on 4000miles and stayed in the good books for what seemed a life time with the lady in doors.
Would I sell it nope . . and half the fun has been learning about these bikes, along with lots of overtime at work. (sorry that part was not fun)
get a maintenance book first you will save the pennies.
welcome . .and good luck.
regards
