    BANZAI's TO DO list for GN250!!

    I rode GN back to my place today(With Stephen's escort) !!!!!!

    It was so scary doing 80kmh on mortorway

    I wanna name it like what some of you guys do, but havent come up with yet and there's someone who named his GN250RR, so maybe I should call it GN250SS (It's Red too!! Red should go faster right?)

    This is my TO DO and wish list for GN:

    TO DO:
    Tyres
    EDIT: GASKETS
    Oil&filter
    Brake fluid
    Other basic maintenance things it need (plug, air filter and what else?)

    Wish list:
    Straight Handle bar (must do lol)
    Adjustable clutch lever(any Kawasaki's adjustable one will do)
    Brighter but smaller tail-light
    HID head light
    Double side Exhaust
    Bikini Cowl
    and many many more...

    Theres so much more to list but I will be broke after Tyres for while...

    If the weather is fine I'm planning to goto Cycletreads on Thursday, can anyone escort me there????

    I'm so happy right now, thanks to Jeremy(previous owner), Stephen&Hanne and rest of you in SMC and KB who helped me to get this bike!!!! You guys are

    Ofcource I'll try to ride it everyday and practice!!

    Congrats Banzai,
    Its a great feeling ainnit? You will never forget your first bike.
    When you get your confidence up and a bit of experiance under your tyres then come out on a 250 friendly ride sometime,
    Keep it Shiny side up,

    I aint got a name for my current bike. Last blade was called Sheila....gonna be fun bro. Get your tyres sorted at Cyclethreads. Oil, filter and brake fluid can be done at Stevo's. Basically all the maintenance stuff can be done at Stevo's.

    HID lights & twin exhaust?? haha that would be fun..

    if you want good tyres get BT45s

    much stickyness and last for ever...
    plus they are good in the wet/cold/dry/track/./././

    I could escort you in the afternoon or early morning, but I'll have a hard time doing anything below 65 km/h and going slow only burns my petrol faster!

    Bomma or Steveo will be your best bet.

    Who's that? and what is gonzales...... And I reckon its "she", but she could stay as GN250SS (might make custom "SS" decal and stick it to side covers!)

    Yea I want GN cafe racer someday (when I have money) I'm sure it's gonna be magazine featured!!!

    Cycletreads guy told me they got bridgestones so must be that tyre I guess? Do they make BT45s for GN???

    That's good to hear, they were most likely going to be my next set of tyres for my vtr.

    Double side Exhaust

    and many many more...

    neons
    chrome EVERYTHING
    lowered and hydraulics
    spoilers
    RR stickers EVERYWHERE
    a PS3, Xbox360 and huge LCD screen that all folds out from under the pillion seat
    amps and subwoofers
    replace petrol tank with an aquarium
    carbon fibre mudguard for weight reduction (remember to chrome)
    pink tassles from the bar ends
    now i hate to kill your buzz a bit, but maybe wait a few months and/or get a few hundred Kms under your belt first.... i'd hate to see a "just scratched/crushed my shiny new exhaust, broke my lights and clutch lever, bent my handlebars, buggered my fairings, and basically wrote the bike off when i *insert basic newbie stuff up SMC learners always manage to do here*" thread (just ask dushi, plus even stephen manages to crash his GN from time to time - ruining my new helmet in the process)

    i'm especially saying this as you've bought a "weekend warrior" bike, that is, you will only get to learn how to ride on weekends while pushing your limit rather than slowly while commuting every day (and learning how to manage traffic when you're on a seemingly invisible bike)

    so after you've done the neccessary mechanical work and actually learnt how to ride the thing, then we look at turbochargin' the ginny

    how does "SUZUKI GN250turbo" sound?
