[QUOTE="redcat, post: 660254, member: 18716"] No in fact the most common year so far has been the 2003 I think. It's purely an age, seizure thing but if I had a bike of your age and mileage I would make absolutely sure I got those links disassembled and greased. Service manual says it should be done annually/ every 12,000 miles but as I have pointed out it is an awkward job and very few workshops actually bother. We have seen failures on bikes with 30k on the clock and if they seize and break the dogbones it's a locked rear wheel every time and likely a visit by the rider to the tarmac. I hope I am wrong but I can't believe that it won't happen to somebody your side of the pond sometime! [/QUOTE]
