Just back from having my first service at Two Wheels in Edinburgh. There is a very low milage s/h red manual available and, I think, a new one .. if anyone is having problems finding one.
First service completed and everything is good. I bought the bike s/h with 250 miles on the clock and was very surprised to find new wheels were to be fitted as the original owner had put in a warranty claim. Clearly I am happy but, to be honest, I had not really noticed any corrosion that bothered me. Bought some ACF50 and will apply on principal!
Have also put gloop in the tubes. Ridden 25 miles home and no balance issues at all. Have used the stuff before and never had an issue then either. (I am a wee bit paranoid about blow outs having been quite badly hurt about 35 years ago after a 5" nail in the rear tyre sent me into a motorway barrier!).
