Hello All
Happy New Year!
Am looking for some berg advise.
It seems i have the berg bug, i bought a 06 FE450 several months ago and love the bike.
However the chap i bought this bike from was in the process of doing up a 08 FE550. Anyhow long story short its up for sale and am thinking of adding it to my collection. I went and viewed the bike today. It has lots of upside to it, Brand new rims, new suspension, top end recently done, honed new piston, brand new wiring harness, steering damper ect.
However and heres my concern, the bottom end has not been touched and the bike has done 17k's(17000). Is this alot for a 550? The bike runs fantastic right now but would i be looking at wanting to do bearing replacement on the bottom end soon? How many k's do they typically get before trouble strikes.
Any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Bike is $4200 (AUS)about 2000 pound or US.
Cheers
