I need a bigger screen for the remaining winter, but they don't exactly enhance things!

Rotating the heated grips has caused another problem. It now blocks the headlight flasher! :roll: They'll be going in the bin in the spring!

I got my MPG back by removing the o2 eliminator. The bike fuels well enough that it just doesn't need it, and knocking over 10+ off the MPG makes it nothing short of ridiculous to keep it on there really?

One thing I've noticed since I've had the bike is that I do think the bike idles too fast? I read somewhere that on the earlier ones they used to get the dealer to adjust the fuel and idle as there was a stalling issue? So when it goes to the dealer for a service I'll get them to check/adjust the idle speed.

You beauty, forgot about that. And their screen for the GSXS doesn't look bad

Taipan - I've been looking at the Puig and MRA for mine. I like the MRA but bugger me that's some industrial looking brackets for the Suzuki!!

Looks like a simpler set up for the MT though. It does look like it's a fairly big screen though

I dislike most screens tbh, but they often do their job, and I have to bear in mind, the bike is primarily a commuter. The current screen seems to direct air blast right under my lid and gives me a cold neck. :? It's an absolute direct hit! :thumbdown: I've got a black plastic container that I was thinking of cutting out my own one from, but I can sense the ban hammer hovering... :lol:
