Least I only scratched My hand  guard,  I was reminded today it was only a few years ago that steve wrote off a near new RT 1100 near Tirau or  should I tell everyone about a Young fellow with long hair that used to race around the roads near Taupo on his Suzuki GSX 1100 in 1980. I wonce got blamed by the MOT officers for not stopping, when that time I think it was our Steve, those were the good old days.Morphine must be playing tricks with me,cheers all

My discs on the GS are geting thinner as well but not warped, I wonder if it is the bikes with wire wheels that have the most problems?  Mine had wire wheels when new and  had wheels and discs replaced under warranty. Brembo have some nice floating disc conversions on Ebay or Neil from Experience can price up a set thru Eurobike wholesale. Just need a wealthy Adventure rider to try a set out .

Whats the clutch doing? My GS had a problem but it was the clutch slave cylinder, under $300 inc labour. Is it soft in the lever or slipping under load?

Had My GS discs replaced under warranty,one first then they had to replace both. Had wire wheels on the bike at that time. Bike now done over 100 ks  and no problems, picked up a EBC rear disc and pads of Rincewind for when they need replacing.

Theres  some SSM rotors on Trade Me, $399 per pair in Hastings at present. Not shure how that stacks up with overseas importing. Never herd of SSM? but they are round and made out of stainless.

in reply to: Bikes on trade me #17730

Na I will just turn on the heated seats and grips and keep riding it.  30,000ks in the last 6 years,at this rate of use it will last forever,Besides no body has bought out a better sports tourer yet[except K1300GT]

in reply to: Bikes on trade me #17726

Its a worry when you have 06 K1200 GT's with 40ks just like mine for$12990, makes it hard to find the differance for a 2012 K1600GT at $33995 with less than 1000ks on it[$44600 rrp]$11000 under list..At least the old airheads are going up in value.Might have to hang on to the current fleet for a little longer.
