Hi nanafry,
I have a VL 125 which is the same as your 250 in most every respect (we're restricted to 125s on L plate over here) . I've uploaded a manual to
http://www.box.net/YorkshireBiker . There was very good tech/maintenance on the Italian Intruder Owners Club site but they are updating the tech area at the moment. I recommend this site. All the mech/tech info is in English and the Italian language menu bar is pretty easy to understand:
www.ioci.it .
If you need advice on customising/accessorising let me know. The test over here in the UK has recently become much extended (CBT, Theory, Hazard Perception, off-road test track manoeuvering and on-road test) so I've spent time making the VL a decent machine to ride on plates and the true cruiser it was meant to be.
Upgrades include straight thru Custom Wings exhausts (really loud), Highway Hawk mini apes, Ledrie saddlebags, chromed forks and engine covers (like your 250), forward controls (from Germany) and VL250 chrome chain-exit covers and front indicator covers (from Suzuki in Sydney!). I've also fitted a Harley Sporster front fender and Harley rear pillion pad. Looks an absolute treat - but with twice the power, you'd still beat me from the lights!
Hope the manual helps keep your machine the way you want it - stay safe and ride free.
