    EBR 1190....yes or no???

    I know you are all biased, being buelligans like myself but I am very interested in an 1190sx and wanted to get some thoughts and opinions on the maintenance/parts availability of these bikes. If they were still in production or parts were readily available it would be a no brainer. Secondly finding somebody to work on it may prove to be a nightmare. I have a firebolt and a CR and i really love them both. Saw a good deal on the sx and am itching to pull the trigger.....what say you?

    Any concerns with finding parts down the road? I really want one as well but don't know what it's going to be like a few years from now when EBR may or may not be open and I'm trying to find parts.

    Be prepared for a lot of wrenching each year as regular maintenance routine

    Same amount of work you do on XB just in case of emergency situation you will do on regular base as part of the normal process.

    Same thing that's been done on japanese bikes since the 60's. Valves must be shimmed to spec, .006-.009" intake and .009-.012" exhaust is an average. Intervals vary between manufacturer, some go as far out as 18k miles, EBR only 6k miles between checks.
