Hi all, I’ve been lurking in the back ground for a while loving the info and help you give each other. I’m now looking at buying my first duke, after many years of bikes. So any help is much much appreciated. Cheers peeps
Hi and welcome. Give us a bit more to work on. Modern or classic? Monster, Hyper, SF, multi, Pani, Scrambler etc?? New or used.
Well first thing first,,,,,,,welcome on board, and just make sure it's got a single sided swingarm as they just love them on this forum.
Oh no ! I’m in trouble all ready !!! I was looking at a 899 but I have decided on the 959. So as much info on a 959 would be great please.
Average age is 75 and tell lots of fibs too While we wait for the purchase how about some pics of your rubbish bins to keep us happy Welcome into our mad house
Can some one tell me if it’s normal for a 959 clutch to chatter a little on tickover ? Then when u pull the clutch in it goes ? Release the clutch and noise is back. One I’ve noticed it on 2 now. Cheers.
959’s are generally sound. Normal checks apply particularly if it’s been tracked (accident damage, lock stops etc). Big service at 15000 miles and annual service up to then. Expect to pay £225 -£285 for standard service. Paint is not lacquered so can mark easily. Clutch should be smooth and not grabby. Wet mode is rubbish, avoid.
There're plenty of folk on here with those particular machines, it's just a case of will they help or not through their shyness.
