Love it m8. Looking at moving to a VTR the less racy detuned version. Any tips to look out for would be welcome. Thanks -
What's happened to it????? -

My riding style might dictate that question Stue. I like to use engine braking as my main form of slowing down, this helps to keep concentration levels high & early conering judgement. -
Very nice wish I could own 3 different rides. Wife & kids prevent it -

Truely sparkling Stue. As for XS1100's lockup I'm sure the insurance brokers would be interested. -

Oil Consumption Interesting reading
darkember replied to darkember's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Ok just found out that 1 quart of oil equates to 1.13 litres therefore if I do the math. I used approx 75ml during that 360 mile round trip of hard riding. This would mean I would be using less that a quart over a 5000 mile period which is well within the realms of acceptability. -
Just found this old thread> http://www.suzukiownersclub.co.uk/showthread.php/31806-Bandit-12-oil-consumption It relates to my bike since I noticed I had used about 50ml after that 360 mile trip last weekend. If the 300ml rule applies I can do about 2000 miles from F - L. That suits me fine plus I did give the old girl a hard time to boot.

Ouch I bet he is kicking himself -
Well if they are going to take your bike. They will get it in the end. As said before make it as hard as possible for them. Best protection is having a lockup garage, what people cant see wont tempt them. Yes some will say well I dont have a garage so what to do. Well if that is the case find a friend who does & keep your pride & joy there. If you use your bike for daily commute keep the really expensive one in the lockup & buy a cheap shed to be left outside. -
Not a nice job. My boss today had to put his own dog down. It was 14 & going downhill fast. -
Easy spent some time in Vietnam. They taught my how to fit the whole family on 1 bike plus the chicken & the pig
