Re: New Bike
Hey!! just go for it !..
The things you have mentioned seem only trivial..
RE Glare: is it your seating position? would a slightly larger screen make any difference? lower bars? (im dont have a glare problem, but i will be getting lower bars)
RE: Rattle: cant help you with that specific, but if you go fast enough you dont notice it
seriously, get someone in the know to check it out.. quirky green bugs 
BTW How do you find the miror positioning?

It all comes down to how you ride it.....

Re: New Bike
Whaddaya mean re: Peters posts ?? I was a bit paranoid about the tranny when I first bought the bike, which turned out to be nothing, and I asked one question about the handling of the bike which everyone else turned into a major riding lesson. But in the meantime I'm riding the ass of the thing and having a great time. IJust bought my new mirrors and a cylindrical rego holder which has made it go much faster.6maniac wrote:Thinking about a new Z ........ wondering if the whole plot is worth it ?(re: Peter's posts)

Re: New Bike
[quote="6maniac"]No.. I don't think it's a chain related issue. It's a more grating sound. 
There shouldn't be any grating sounds unless you have a pillion on the bike that is grating cheese ?? If you are worried about it, as someone earlier suggested, get a mechanic to look at it. If you ask the seller if you can have it checked over by your mechanic, and he says no then he may be trying to hide a problem ??
