The mille had its check up and its not good...:thumbdown

The mechanic said he dont know just yet what all the knocking is until the engines out and stripped down, by the time i had ridden 40 miles to the garage it sounded like the valves were knocking through the head !!!

For now ive got the zx12 back and boy does that seem heavy compared to the mille, the bike will be in the garage a week but tis not looking very good.
