[QUOTE="fudgejerkin1188, post: 948404, member: 28335"] A [B]must check[/B] item on any Euro FJR is the suspension linkage. They tend not to get serviced properly by dealers and this can lead to linkage failure. Even a bike with a full dealer service book needs to be treated with suspicion unless you have proof its been done properly. Several horror stories of linkages snapping from the UK (doesn't seem to have reared its ugly head the other side of the water). Personally a ticker wouldn't worry me as its not going to kill you where as suspension failure will. One of my FJRs has been a ticker since I bought it and I've put 50,000 miles on it with no issues. UK FJR forum has plenty on the issues but you need to be a member to view the threads [URL="https://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk"]https://www.fjfjrbiker.co.uk[/URL] [/QUOTE]
