Hi there, With some of the money you've saved on the bike price, treat yourself to an engine guard. Dunno why they're called that because their job is to protect your legs when the bike goes down. They're the only thing that'll stop your leg getting squashed/burnt. Notice that I've put WHEN, not IF, the bike goes down. I'm not trying to alarm you, but I don't think there's anyone in the history of motorcycling who hasn't gone down at sometime in their riding career. One other point - if you do decide to buy an engine guard (and I wouldn't ride without one, and I've been riding for over 45 years) don't buy the Suzuki one. It's nothing more than an ornament! The Americans on this site will be able to point you in the right direction, as America has different brands to us. :2tup:
