Chris, has the 796 had the fuel tank replaced/upgraded? The plastic tanks are known to swell due to Ethanol fuel usage. The wife’s 2011 796 has this problem as well as having had bad front rotors. They warped with less than 6k on the bike and she is a grandmother, NOT a performance rider nor does she brake hard. In fact she’s just the opposite.
