800/1000cc?

800 brakes are weak, but can be upgraded to those found on 1000/S4R/996.

(800) Almost everything under the right side engine cover are disasters waiting to happen. Primary driven gear have heavy springs embedded. Primary drive gears are dual mass, with tiny springs. Both fail often. Can be replaced with older bike parts at a reasonable cost. Sooner than later.

When I had my 800 rebuild, blue printed and tuned, there was NO measurable wear anywhere - at 35,000 miles. Despite my many many attempts to destroy it.

These bikes can handle quite a lot and quite a few miles. The electronics will not like pressure washing, but will ususally handle rain. Don't let it live outside though.
