Oh; polish the chrome every now and then. We get ones with shitty surface rust forming quite early in their ownership. (though for some reason these people have been sold on the GN as a no maintenance bike; therefore never do anything for the first 3 years and get shocked when they fail on tyres etc at the first WOF; thanks local Suzuki shop) Wats an oil change Yeah nah I swapped about 3 engines into my 250. I'm Gona change the oil every month Was thinking of bombing it with plastidip to protect paint/chrome But I realised I genuinely don't care enough, IL just water blast it down occasionally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Also may I enquire how much a brand new motorcycle of this calibre would set a fellow back? Also also, you now have zero excuse not to saddle up and join the elite group of highly specialised social misfits on the Te Urawera undertaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I literally walked into Suzuki 10 mins before closing, walked to the bike and said sell me this.

tortron Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 9 hours ago, Dolan said: What’s a break in procedure Wheelies till the weak link breaks then smooth sailing Handbook recommend procedure is under 5000rpm for first 800km. Under 8000 till 1600, under 10000 for life of engine I don't think that's realistic because 5000 rpm is only 60kph and you are never going to fluctuate revs doing that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Bests engine I ever built was broken in buy doing 6 max speed runs back to back. (Right off the first fire up) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 More #adventure GN Made this So I can make these Because I have lots of bicycle touring stuff, so those go on these Which with some mounts go here somewhere. Indicators are in a lame spot, might need to move them back about 5cm I think. Don't want anything sticking out further than my knees for aero reasons. Send me your bike and a wad of cash and you can have some too. Bicycles also ok 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I like that you're adopting the British mantra to this. Take something weak and powerless and make it more cumbersome and burdened down. Also, lol, GN. The dairy farmer's bike of choice for his Filipino worker to ride. No power, no problems. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
