Happy Days...I finally bought a bike and I'm loving it:)

[Dave79]

Hello, so at 42 years of age i just bought my first road bike, a 1996 Suzuki Volty TU250.

After many months of procrastinating, viewing, googling and checking bikes out in person and on the net i went ahead and bought this awesome bike and really happy I did as it's a lot of fun, I feel like a whole new person 8-)

I've wanted a bike for awhile now to commute to work and more importantly to have a bit of freedom and to enjoy owning and riding a motorcycle and I'm loving it, I've only owned it for less than a week and I've already done 100 or so K's. Any excuse to go ror a ride and I'm there.
She goes great and is a pleasure to ride.


I think the bike had been sitting for awhile before I bought it so going to do my first oil change soon. Can anyone tell me the correct grade/type of oil and what oil filter to use?
And how much oil to refill?

This is all new to me and I want to maintain this bike as best as possible to get the most out of it as planning on going the distance :lol:

Any other Volty owners on this site?
Would love to hear from you.

Bye for now. Dave. Happy new bike owner. :D

sweet ... hope you enjoy your learning curve ... iirc these are pretty much the same as the GN250 for mechanical details such as oil and filters etc

Congratulations, I also got myself a Suzuki DR650 late January, I love to go hiking and camping with a motorcycle, so I'm happy to own it. And it's nice to be able to find people who share the same passion here.
