I managed to pick up a 749 couple of months back and joined up here to get all the best tips and advice. After its 15K service this week mainly for the shims I'm planning out all the winter jobs I can do and afford this year at least Probably the starter cables as a minimum as its rubbish at turning over especially now it's a little cold. Then onto some paint touch ups. Sid
Tips you say: don't pick up 749's - they are heavy and you will do your back in :Wideyed: Welcome Sid
Welcome Sid The 749s is a superb motorcycle , but needs to have the suspension set up professionally to gain maximum advantage, also fork oil refresh if the bikes @15k( something that often gets neglected) This will transform the bike. Really benefits from a faster action throttle too. Both these things will cost less than £100. , and will be the best things you can do to a 749 to turn a good bike into a great one.
There also has to be a wheelie bin/s in the picture! Welcome.. youll love the 749 and theres tons of threads on here to improve it
