    Another newbie!

    Afternoon All,

    Just thought I'd say hi - picked up a '95 @ last week after decades on all sorts of other kit - last bike was a tuned Gpz750 Turbo - and I have to say it's a blast. Never has 60 horsepower been so much fun! I'm up in sunny Oldham.

    Here's my new toy - 19k, the heated grips don't work, but the Scottoiler does...



    Quick question: does anyone find the gear lever's a bit cramped? OK, I've got size 12s, but even so, it's a very tight fit to get my foot under there...

    Cheers,

    Muzz

    Welcome! Move the gear lever up a notch or two and take the rubbers off the footpegs , only one bolt underneath the peg with a sleeve and the rubber looped over it. Less than 5 minutes work and well worth it.
