Hi all, I've just bought myself a 2001 falco. It had this website written on the screen so I'd though I'd take a look! Its got 15k on, racing cans and ohlins rear. Going to put some new boots on, and maybe a new battery just to be sure!  Anyone know who had it before?? |

It's got a different sidestand already! Looking at service bills, I have done an oil/filter change but was wondering how much i'm looking at for a valve check/adjustment?!?  |

ok devon I do not know of anyone in that area - i think that you may want to see if there is a griff on tour event near you feel free to wander over to ridersite - its kind of falco central for the uk folk.... and we never mod our falco's at all - they are all standard, indeed most of us have never derestricted them..... believe that when you see it ROFLMAO ------------- www.ridersite.com - Uk Falco folk.... |
