Afternoon!

Post by dickymint »

Afternoon all.

Just stumbled across the forum whilst hunting around for some bits for my new (to me) toy. Looks something like this...

Had a year or so off bikes whilst ploughing dosh into house and extension. This came up through a friend at the right sort of dosh for both of us so I've crossed from the dark side that is Suzuki!

A bit of a mix up of biking history from DAS instructor to touring all over to trackday instructor with F.E and Easytrack.

Really looking forward to getting the new beast out on track.

That's pretty much me saying hi. :)

Welcome in Rich
I hope you've found a place to come & chill rather than just somewhere to find a few bits ;)

Oh I shall definitely be chilling and endeavouring to rid my brain of all things Suzuki!! :D

I found the bits on good old ebay but then stumbled across a link to here with a parts manual on it.

Ha... possibly so on the riding front (although the instructor bit only means that I can talk a good game!) but definitely not on the Yamaha front!! :D
