Dude there was sooo much wrong with that post....
Asking the wife, Suzuki, etc.... We aren't buying curtains.
Should we give him a chance to start again? LOL
Welcome from Delaware, don't ask just do it, sell that japan toy and just buy it. That is if you can find one, I understand they are far and few between with a high price tag down under. Good luck.
My biggest warning for factory defects is the rubber they send them out the door wearing, Metzler tires are junk and don't last 4000 miles on this bike. The ignition switch is weak and handles too much juice, a headlight relay bypass kit is an absolute necessity. Other than those two out-of-the-box problems, everything else is a random luck of the draw risk. My 2008 has needed a water pump and an ignition switch (and a car tire on the rear, Avon Cobra on the front) in 18,000 miles.
PS, I'm not really a jerk, I just play one on TV. (don't take me too serious)
