Annoying bike quirks

[Swoop]

I have an issue with my "PASS" switch.
Whenever I'm behind a cage and press this switch, the cage invariably does nothing.
I have to pass said cage, regardless. Switch must be faulty though.

The button to turn the ABS off - I have to take my glove off to push it (with gloves on my finger is too big - I can not push the centre of it down).

Thought of one more, the KTM is such a great bike that it shows how much of a shit rider I am!! ha ha

All the things listed above would annoy the hell out of me and most of them could be remedied by simply undoing the odd wire. What annoys my on my DR500 is that the sidestand. It is set up at an odd angle - kinda hard to explain - it does not lean much, but 1 degree more lean and it would fall over. As long as you're careful, it's fine.

I went from digital speedo, temp gauge, fuel gauge, clock and trip metres... to analogue speedo/rpm and a tiny digital clock and trip metres, I prefer the latter.

Simplistic wins, I know the km range on when I need to fill up (and if I don't I have a nice fuckoff bright LED and the trip metre starts caps lock cruise control "FUEL FUEL FUEL FUEL".

The digital fuel gauge was unbelievably inaccurate, it would be on full to 80% for most of the trip then within the next 50 - 60km drop straight down to the last blinking cube.

Quirky thing on a test bike that bugged me most was the orange 'overdrive' indicator on a V-strom. Exactly the same as most bike's fuel warning light.

I have a sidestand with a super lean which always makes me think abit before I get off! But all stuff I can live with. Didn't realise the first time the reserve light came on that it was an auto switch and i didn't have a tap, that was an embrassing mistake (i was at the ferry and asked a rider there if he could find it - he didn't but asked the rest of the group - 30+ people if they could).

Currently in a hotel room with an interesting quirk - the wardrobe has lights that we cant seem to turn off. A bit off topic but so unusal I had to throw it in!

The piddly fuel tank - 17l but only 15 is usable.
Mirrors too small or I'm too fat - fuckin useless either way
An indicator switch that doesn't switch itself off
Cheap shitty bolts that keep unscrewing themselves

Fuck Suzuki - I want a real Twin.

Change tyres and end up with no ground clearance.

That's odd.

I havnt used 2nd gear for about 6 months.

Its broken. Rest of the bikes bullet proof though.
