Hey all, I'm currently considering a trade-out for an 848. Before I even come close to finalizing anything I'd like to inform myself a little more.
In short, I'm concerned about buying a late model SBK whose line hasn't had all of its "kinks" worked out. I've read lots about stalling and idling problems on the 848s, and would like some input on other common issues. The bike in question is an 08 848 with 6600 or so on the clock. I would be the third owner. The second owner bought it from a dealership...who I can call and speak to about the particular bike's history most likely. I'm assuming with that many miles, it's already gotten its kinks worked out. It will, however, need its 7.5k service and I'm considering that also.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
