I picked up an 06 F4 1000 S with 9800 miles and going front to back in an effort to learn the machine and establish confidence in the machine. I'd appreciate so guidance on the following:
Overall, any good recommendations for a dealer/distributor who can reliably supply OE MV parts to the US? I'm more interested in good customer service and less concerned about the cheapest, but I also don't want to buy from the most expensive place
Brake/clutch lines: I've ordered some Goodridge lines to replace the factory lines, but after searching about the interwebs, I'm suspecting the front lines will show up with the wrong ends (axial vs radial calipers)...we will see. Nothing is wrong with factory lines, just some discoloring of the outer sleeves so it's mainly a cosmetic change.
Brake rotors: I see there are 310mm vs 320mm ODs between the axial and radial caliper machines, mine has the axial calipers, of course. I'd like to get a fresh set of front rotors that are either OE replacements or Braking brand wavy rotors, but I havent found confirmation Braking offers front rotors to fit the axial calipers.
Brake caliper/master parts: I want to rebuild the internals and need a source for the parts....I'll buy from anywhere just want good parts.
Tune: the bike has a Fast by Ferracci exhaust and was supposed to also have been tuned back in 2006 for the setup, but I'm not sure how to best identify what may have been done. I'd like to 1) learn what it has currently, 2) confirm she is mechanically dialed in 3)further refine the tune if possible (low rpm/load conditions are not too smooth)
What recommendations do you guys have? Thanks!!
