Buying a 1200
Posted: 06 Oct 2017 18:24
Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum, so please bear with me.
I have had a hankering for a 1200 for a few years now, and have found what looks like a nice example. 2009 Corsaro with 7.5k miles on the clock.
I have been reading and absorbing as much information as possible on the forum, but to be honest, I am a bit concerned about the cam chain snapping issues, and spare parts in general.
I currently have a Honda Firestorm, they have an issue with cam chain tensioners breaking, which has a catastrophic result in engine damage, but it only seems to affect a few bikes compared to the number they have sold, and if the do go, there are plenty of spare engine parts available used.
Is the cam chain breaking an issue on a lot of 1200?
Thanks in advance
