Just got my learners!

Ah yeah cheers for that,nah I think he was talking about not being able to check/adjust the valve clearances.

Cos that was one of the things they were gonna do,but as soon as he saw the red cam cover,he goes nah can't adjust the valve clearances.


but yeah no biggie,apparently it's okay for it to be a bit rattly,especially on the VVT model....*fingers crossed the bike stays healthy*

[The Everlasting]

One gripe,sometimes when I have it in neutral,i put it in first,down,but it seems like it goes into second? Weird!

..and sometimes when changing from 1st to 2nd it will go into neutral,could potentially be dangerous...is it a fault,or am I doing it wrong? It doesn't always do it.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Remember, Neutral is in between 1st and 2nd.. When Changing up, Make sure you change the WHOLE way up. Yes.. I have done it myself and then i think SHTI! Change ALL the way, Not half..

It will come to ya man.

[The Everlasting]

Yeah I was thinking about that soon after i posted that,I'll have to make a mental note to shift up a little harder from 1st...

[Hopeful Bastard]

Should make sure you change up harder through each gear as you find False Neutral if you dont shift hard enough.. Found those as well.. Had to button off the gas and let it select gear then off i went..

I now know it is my boots i wear that i have these troubles with. My tramping boots, I have noo trouble changing gear. Mainly in the Bike Boots i have trouble with..

*on the look out for some new boots*

[The Everlasting]

Yeah that is true,sometimes when i don't do it properly it won't change gear,but with time I'm sure I will get used to it.

How long you owned your bandit? Is yours the VZ too?


I just wear normal shoes for now,will have to wait until I can afford some proper gear.

Cheers.. I actually went away for the weekend and came back to find my bid was still leading. lol

No.. Although, If you have any idea, I would be more than happy. lol

[The Everlasting]

Actually the dash looks like a custom job,maybe one of the previous owner's didn't like it and made their own...

Looks like the dash from a GSXR250... or possibly another older Suzuki.. but it looks exactly the same as the dash on this:

Thats what i was thinking. I actually quite like it myself. The only part i dont like is that i cant reset that little odo thing to see how far i have travelled
