Back in the Saddle

Hi every one, I am Slackey, almost 40, in the RAF and currently living in Tattershall Lincolnshire.

Well after a 3 year abstinence after selling my Ducati 916 I am finally back in the saddle. Obviously I have plumped for another Italian V twin :cool3

I have not picked the bike up yet but it is a 99 RSV Mille with 14K on the clock. I will put some pics up when I get it.

Is there any foibles I need to be aware of with these bikes? I have done some research and the main fault that crops up seems to be the sprag clutch, but other than that not a lot.

Looking forward to getting back on the road and being part of the community here
 
Hello Slackey.. The back brake is crap, You have to take the calliper off to bleed it!!!
 
Cheers x4man, I will keep that in mind. The back brake was crap on my 916 (as they all are) I rarely used it to be honest because it was that poor lol

Must be something about Italian V Twins and crap back brakes
