Welcome Rob.
New F4i owner myself. I purchased it off of Craigs List and couldnt be happier. I wasnt actually seeking a F4i but here i am
I've ridden 2500 miles in the first 30 days and no trips longer than 100 miles. Love it!
I think the guy heard the CCTL going out and assumed or was misinformed it may be something worse cause he sold it to me for $2600 and it had just clicked 10k miles.
I replaced the CCTL and she runs like a sewing machine
I'm going riding now

What's the "L" part refer to? I thought it was just CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner)?

Welcome aboard. Yeah, those Speed Triples are nice looking but I'll bet you'll be pretty happy w/ an F4i.
As for you mileage question, as long as the bike has been taken care of, higher mileage isn't a problem. Forum member "Thirdgenlxi" had well over 100K b/f having to do any major engine work.

if i'm thinking right...he had over 175,000 miles on his and bought a 15,000 mile motor that unfortunately not as well taken care of.
definitely, make sure what you get (if used) has been well taken care of.

Okay, thanks. I was reading through the thread briefly. I was already aware of the problem. The Street Triple's suffered a similar malfunction as well. However, from the pictures I saw of one guy's Street triple, the problem was much worse.
