pilninggas Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 ###photos will follow, when camera is located#### Just bought an xv535dx via ebay. 2000W for £1100. Never had a 'custom' before, so new ways of riding for me. picked it up, didn't have much go but sorted easily the carb diaphams were sticky (have an fzr1000 so knew the symptoms instantly). How accessible is this thing? Sorted it out in 5 minutes, then took it for a 20 miles sortie....excellent little bike, very different to the FZ1 i usually use. Front brake pathetic, but it overtakes well, handles predictably and is so, so light. Looking forward to some mini-touring on it, maybe the Netherlands again or Luxembourg.

pilninggas Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 There'll be some sparks flying on that merv knowing how you ride already touched down both pegs... you can filter with ease on it too, it's quite flickable. Just requires setting up for the turns and not to be pushed [i learn fast!]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toutsuite Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Welcome to the world of cruisers Piln! Not a huge fan of the look of the viggy myself, but they're undeniably good little bikes.

And who knows what you might upgrade to in the future... thanks, i was never really sold on the look of any cruiser but want something a little different. Doubt i'll upgrade, i've got an FZ1 for 'proper riding'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
