Folks,
After plenty of deliberation and test riding, I've decided that I will indeed buy myself a replacement bike here in NZ for the VTR1000 that I left behind in Canberra. As for what it is... all will be revealed soon!
However I'm curious to know if we have the same issues with fuel suppliers in NZ as I had back in Australia. You may have heard that there were a number of issues with ethanol being mixed into the fuel over there and subsequent problems with motorcycle engines. It even got to the extent where Yamaha Australia came out and said that all warrenties were null and void if you had an ethanol mix in the tank!
So are there any dodgy suppliers/servo's in the greater Wellington area, and are there any servo's in particular I should stay away from for any other reason?
