Re: Starter Needed!
Yeah. I'm going to tear it apart and look at it with one of my electrician/mechanic buddies this weekend. I just wanted to get some feelers out there in case it's totally shot.

Re: White wall tires for the gz 250?
I bet it can be done. I've just looked around a little and I've found a couple that might work. I know that you don't need to follow the exact specifications on tire size that Suzuki lists for this...

Yeah. One thing I definitely have to think about is that this is my only form of transportation for the moment, and I don't want to have to take a backpack every time I go to buy groceries (although...

Re: hard bags on ebay
Sure. However, drop the bike on them and they wouldn't even slow it down. They'd just vaporize.[/quote]
Well, I'll just try to be sure that I don't drop it then... :tongue:

I've got the Suzuki soft bags; I've had them for about two years now, and I'm really not too impressed with them. I just figured that as much camping/day-tripping as I do, the hard...

Re: Pain in the a$$
My limit seems to be one hour. I try to get up and stretch every 45 minutes if I'm not in a hurry. This thing ain't made for comfort; it's made for fuel economy and in-town commuting. That said, I've...

Re: Front Forks - Has anyone re-painted?
