    Hi all

    I am picking up my 1st fireblade next weekend. I have always had Italian bikes so not sure what to expect. I stereo any common issues to look out for.

    I'll second that, mine went last week. I'm changing it as well as the reg/rec myself easy enough job. Don't let it put you off, the Blade is a fantastic bike, is it the one in your avatar? Same colour scheme as mine:D. Oh welcome to the forum.

    Thanks, yeah it the one in the avatar. If the stator is only thing I need to worry about. I am on easy street compared to my other bikes.

    Yeah stator only thing, my mate only "rides" Italian, I say "rides" because it's off the road more than on it!!! If it's got an aftermarket exhaust you may want to get a Power Commander, they can be a bit lumpy around town. Other than that enjoy.
