What to look for on VTRs?

[dangerous]

Yeah what Fat J says I agree, re jet is good but I never needed to with the pipes and after market filter.

Good forum is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VTR_List/ although most have changed bikes as you do. Pretty loyal lot with answers to all question if you can't be bothered using the search key.

And a beter forum is http://ozfirestorm.proboards34.com/

I never mentioned the TL, they are a diferent bike to the SV... and I like em, but not for touring on... the TL is a beter bike for what it ws designed but the VTR is a beter alrounder.

Nothing the credit card wont fix...apologies to the starter of this thread..........

No worries mate sorry to hear about the bin.

Its good to see there is a good and helpfull vtr following. Ive been riding zxr's the past four years and found them to have a good following. Makes life a bit eaiser when others have been there and done that and have a bit of advise to share.

Cheers fellas, at least now i know the years to go for and a few things to look out for when i go shoppin.

VTRs are everywere.......touring/scratching doing everything there is for a motorcycle to do i reckon...sort of says it all really as per how good they are.

Make sure if you get a VTR that the battery is good in it, we've got one in at work for a full service at the moment and it's up for a new battery over $300 for a decent one and $95 for a cheap Chinese one

Now that's weird, was in picking up a new battery for the KLX on Friday and a new-ish looking VTR arrived with the same problem. At that price I'm not surprised the guy was looking a bit grumpy.

Big V twins must take a bit more to crank over than a 4, they typically got bigger batteries?

That's the thing though, it isn't a big battery physical size is roughly 20cm x 10cm x 10cm and it's only 12v 14ah, it's a wee sealed bugger!
