Title: getting quite an affection for the old girl
Post by: greyfazer on July 24, 2016, 22:57:25

DL1000, 2002 just hit 50k...its got clutch judder...the 2-3.5k fuel glitch that sometimes is a pain but just done 2500 miles around Spain + Portugal on some roads I wouldn't have taken the fazer thou .Some one on this forum said when I first got her  you need to learn how to ride it....ditto. She is like a comfortable armchair and didn't miss a beat, thinking might keep the old girl and spend some money on her for the next trip

They do get better the more you ride them,  if you've got open exhausts  a power commander and a dyno run will fix the fueling and a clutch mod by Sharealike is a must do :-)
