Over the years this forum has been very helpful to me with maintenance and technical problems. It seems a shame that there is so much nonsense on here now. I am old and do not understand how these forums work in detail but there must be someone out there who can work it out. The Fireblade is one of the best motorcycles ever produced, forget the exotica, they don't last and are almost throwaway consumables, wonderful if you are wealthy. My bike has just clocked 33000 miles, a 2014 ABS model and it runs like clockwork now after a valve service and hope to keep it for a long time yet.
