With all the new steel work on eltys it’ll not fail on rot.

Good luck with it

Mines a 2003 and I luv it failed every year little things wear and tear items
Passed this year but with advisory front brake pads told him to change them.
And sort engine light fault and I am back to my thread on injector pump.
Hope my experience helps others. As long as I can get parts I will never part with my second love ( first love my beloved zzr1400 Kawasaki. For those interested look on john coles Blackpool Lancashire on Facebook everyone on this site is my friend john

Nice one Elt

jims-terrano · 09-02-2018, 18:37

Don’t think that is such a bad pass either, obviously the £20 note on the drivers seat worked
