    Maybe that's the problem... I just assumed it was there, and hadn't noticed when riding at night before. Maybe it's a feature, not a bug

    Any other GN owners out there have a backlit speedo?

    Apteryx_haasti [from this site] is booked on a course in January I believe, you may be able to get on that course.

    Heads Up and Enjoy
    Yeah I done this course about 2 months ago - really worth while doing - especially because at the end of the day, only a few square inches is all that is holding you and your bike rubber ( or plastic shite ) side down....

    Another GN250 owner

    I had 5-6k for a bike, but no experience so decided to play it safe and go for a GN250. ($2.7k, 3000kms, in new condition). Maybe a good idea as I did have an off 2 weeks ago.

    Anyway im wondering about bike things, ie oil/oil filter (as it had been sitting around a lot). Manual says very little about what oil filter should be fitted, so this leaves me wondering if any motorbike oil filter will do? (Must do oil change, it has been sitting around for a year before I bought it). Thanks for any tips.

    Go to Suzuki motorcycle shop. Ask for GN250 oil filter please. $9.95 later... happy bike innards.

    You ain't a real rider till you've ridden a lightened ginny round Taupo. Black lines everywhere.

    Got any pictures of it? I guess you just took everything off, mudguards, lights, etc?

    The GN is overtyred at the rear. Drop down a size. Also drop a gear to get maximum velocity.

    Oh and there was still a new brand spankers one for sale in Dannivirke a few weeks back.

    yea $12.50 is the oil filter price as I found. But not from Wellington motorcycles (the local suzuki dealership). They way overcharge for their stuff. (They had wanted $450 orc for a new GN250!)

    If Only...

    The GN has only one failing that I can see, it's a Soozie. Other than that if it makes you smile, ride it!

    Those who care, don't matter and those who matter don't care.
    Its never too late to have a happy childhood!
