Hey guys,

I am looking for another bike, and considering a 2015 FB6
This thing is sitting on about 20,000 miles
What do I need to know ????

Thanks

Great bike. I agree with Jack B. I love my 14 F6BD - Stinger. Rode it to church this morning and it was as thrilling as ever.

I don't own a GL1800, have just read about it.
will have to change out the metal timing chain.....probably never ever.
valves are shim adjustment every 32k+ miles, and I've read they are fine at 32k, so maybe twice that miles it will need to be done.
