Some general questions

Hi everybody,
although looking at the limited responses I don't know if anyone will be replying.
I'm an Aussie looking at buying a Falco but would like to find some info before committing my money.
What are the service intervals?
If your an Aussie can you give me an indicative price of servicing?
Are there any problems I should look for in a 2nd hand Falco?
Finding a Falco in Australia has been difficult so I haven't been able to test ride 1 and I'm relying on the reviews I've read to be reasonably accurate. I'm wanting something different from the jap stuff and it's a toss up between the Falco or a Ducati.
I hope someone can answer these couple of questions.
Cheers,
Stitchy

I just bought a second hand falco in Canada. Service is the same as anything else. Exaust is very hard to find. There are some complaints of frequent clutch changes and poor rear shocks. The seat is a pain in the ass. It is the best bike I have ever been on though. Good luck

Thanks Jay,
I hadn't heard of any clutch problems. I have read of the rear shock but thought it only faded after some real hard work. In a review I have read there is a fix, but I can't remember the name of the company that had the fix. I think it was a matter of aftermarket shock.
As for the seat.........nothings perfect.

Cheers,
Stitchy.
