Dont they lack a bit on luggage options?

$18k new out of the box you can afford some soft luggage mind you the tail end is a short one.

Absolutely! It is a naked sport after all so touring is going to be a solo affair unless you want to cripple the passenger. My expandable Oxfords are a shade shy of 50 litres at maximum capacity and I have a yachting dry bag of around 15 litres to bungee on the top. That's sufficicient for a few days away without doing any washing

Kriega has a small range of luggage options for the tail. I purchased a Kriega back pack a few years ago and was impressed with the quality and functionality. A Kriega 20 + 10 tail pack combo arrived a week ago in preparation for .....

Yep got the bike and Kriega combo. Good luggage and the GSX S - may not be a super bike or have all the fruit of the exotic breeds but is great value for money and it sure goes, rides, tracks and has good sound. Will do me for a while .

Hopefully link to pic works. Fitted Mrs Berg's new GSX-s with Ventura rack brackets. Then get a sport rack, cut the top bar off it, weld in some bars and bolt a top box on. Works a charm

Careful with the sport rack, with a top box on them they snap. Ive got 4 or 5 broken ones in the shed.

Photo didnt work.

So have heard Dale Walker of Holeshot performance has bought on of these to sort the fueling. His kits are normally a great price and dont have the faffing about of a Power commander.

He has only just run it in and this is its first time on the Dyno. Oh dear.....

But if he can pull 150hp out of a 1250 TNAB then he will get this sorted.

The fuelling problem is not universal. Mine's a bit lumpy at the bottom end but it's not a major issue. Suzuki Australia are fitting a new ECU to owners who are having problems. There are several other options which help too, including an inexpensive throttle tamer. Personally, mine can stay as it is.

Throttle tamer is a mask to the fueling problem. A proper fix to the A/f ratio will sort the throttle response and find power and economy. Bikes that have been sorted with a PC are said to not flash the TC anything like as much. Dales Boxes tend to be $270ish USD.

Dale has the snatch sorted, and has pulled it from 138hp to 153hp.

This thing is now properly quick and smooth. Shame Suzuki cant just sell it that way. Few weeks and the kits will be for sale.

It seems they are coming out of the factory with the tps set 'incorrectly'.
Adjusting this removes 99% of the throttle snatch in my experience.

Haven't done anything with mine. It's lumpy at the bottom end but no worse than my Street Triple originally was. Given the number of ECU replacements which have happened in other countries, wonder if anything will happen in NZ approaching a general recall?

That man is a wizard with his street going Suzukis.

He has done over 170 dyno runs on it so far. The Supertune for my GSX1250FA is perfect.

I enquired about a replacement ecu when I first heard about it, got fobbed off basically, but have heard of someone in NZ getting one, there's no chance of a recall imo.
I've adjusted the tps on mine - its a different bike.
