Is this to do with the Jammy Dodger incident?

Good morning

Any good? https://www.suzukiperformancespares.co.uk/product/replacment-throttle-tube-,quick-action-option/6720/ Also noted whilst searching, that that Suzuki GT550 shares the same twist grip and controls.... https://www.suzytwo.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1782865-SWITCH-THROTTLE-GRIP-ASSEMBLY-GS750-GT550-NO-LONGER-AVAILABLE.html

I've had my bike for more than seven months, today was the first time I've actually had a real, and proper ride. I decided that as it was too hot to do any work on our little farm, I'd go for a ride on my now repaired little machine. Feckin' Nora!! I just had the time of my life, it took me 1 hour 40 min's to do 45 miles, but I'd decided to go to Mersea island (Essex), and back again via Sainsbury's. So I had a 3 hour round trip, backside hurting towards the end of the outgoing journey, and shoulders hurting on the way home. I spent most of the time going through towns and villages at 20-30Mph, it was sweltering crawling along, no opportunities to overtake as it was school home time. But I just turned up the volume on Bob Marley and enjoyed my bike's new ability to actually crawl along in traffic, or bimble along at 30Mph. I'm absolutely buzzing, I just want to get back on it, I'm so much happier with it, and I feel so confident riding it now. Happy Days...... Having reached the harbour (sort of) at West Mersea, it was at this point that I renewed my vows with her.

It's a seriously good evening to one and all. Not long until Friday @rennie

Is that boring because they're so reliable? I hope so!

Thank goodness there's a green bike in the picture (just) What have you bought then?

Welcome to the forum @SuzukiMike95 I hope you'll find the help you need here.

Hi @IndigoJo welcome to the forum. To be honest, that does sound like it could be a little too tight, but, it also sounds like after an hour or two, it might be the perfect fit. Difficult to tell without standing next to you whilst you are wearing it. I had the same issue with my Shark helmet, now it's so comfortable, although it feels like it's ripping my ears off when I remove it.

Good morning bikers

Hi Mike

Welcome to the forum

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at that one...

Flippin' 'eck, that was nasty. Thank goodness it's summer.

This is better, because whether it's hot and sweaty or cold and wet, your cloths will be fresher and drier in a rucksack.

Did you get Post Office vouchers?

Has to be the bike!

Joking aside, there's likely to be an element of truth in that.

Thanks mate. It now gives me ammunition to complain to the previous workshop that charged me for allegedly doing the same work.

Good morning,

Got a feeling that parcel might end up "lost in transit"

A repeat from my "Pitstop" thread. She's home, not only is she home, but she's running perfectly!!! No spluttering. 4 x new idle jets, new seals and O-rings in the carb's and she'll plod along at low RPM without a cough or splutter. I'm also getting smoother gear changes, and I'm able to roll the throttle on with a smooth response, meaning roundabouts and turns no longer pose the threat of kicking the back end out when the power comes in. Seriously happy.

Hi @Will-I-is welcome to the forum. Nice choice of bike.

That's a good point. One wouldn't want to end up looking like a Tellytubby....
