    With those things, if it doesn't look to have been off road a lot, listen for rattles in the motor. The rest is covered by the WOF if it was done at a bike shop.

    It's taken a bit to get used to the way the power is delivered but I'm liking it a lot more now.
    My Safari tank only holds 13 liters so don't know how he gets 16 in the pone on TM but still good for 350km+

    Tidy bike.

    Read up on the popular mods for these bikes then get your credit card and a box for the bits that come off ready

    There is a huge difference between standard and one that has all the popular modifications makes them in to a good all rounder.

    Yea cant wait to get started... kinda maxed out my card getting it so it'll be awhile before the more expensive items like exhaust and tuner. Is there a good priced NZ source for all the bits and pieces i'll be wanting? Hope to get on a Waikato group ride once i get my licence...

    Cheapest option for most parts is from the states especially the pipe and tuner.

    For any suspension work talk to Wayne at Blackwoods he has done my forks and shock giving a major improvement in handling.

    How are you liking the WRR?

    I've had mine for awhile now and I'm in the process of turning it back from a farm hack to a wof'ed and rego'd adv bike

    Farkles so far are force radiator guard an bashplate and have doubletake mirrors on order

    Yea loving it aye. Just got my license today, so hope get out on a good ride soon. My only farkel so far is the drc edge tail light, i just finished installing today, really cleans up the look of the bike. Next thing is probably a EFI programer since ive opened up the air box a bit and have baffel out... Would like the fmf pipe and headder but $$$ really need a bash plate and radiator gaurd too!
