pilninggas Posted September 21, 2013 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 Posted September 21, 2013 My deepest sympathies for you mate. why do you say that?
bippo Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 why do you say that? He isn't a fan of Virago's!!
blackhat250 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Hey merv" i think they"re cute wee bikes,,
pilninggas Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 He isn't a fan of Virago's!! that's fair enough, i looked at a few dr(f)agstars, but they were a bit OTT for my liking.
2 Wheels Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Awaiting pic's,,,,,,,, big change of riding style for you merv,,,,,,,,,,, sur that'll be good fun
Moderator Airhead Posted September 21, 2013 Moderator Posted September 21, 2013 There'll be some sparks flying on that merv knowing how you ride
pilninggas Posted September 21, 2013 Author 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!].
gizmo666 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 My deepest sympathies for you mate. haha brilliant
Noise Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Neversaydie...........ah too shay! But even that toaster will make a viggy look better! Ha ha.
Toutsuite Posted September 21, 2013 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...
gizmo666 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 undeniably good little bikes not exactly words i'd use lol

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'....
Noise Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Remember it ain't a true viggy with out studs and tassels ha ha. Na glad for you mate, as long as your happy with it and enjoy it.
gizmo666 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 noise said studs and tassels here you mines got studs.........................and its not a viggy haha
Tommy xs Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Noise is such a good judge I knew that toaster would be back
Toutsuite Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 not exactly words i'd use lol In the sense of getting you from A to B reliably and safely, they are good little bikes. In the sense of giving you that huge grin on your face, not so much, I'll grant you...
mailee Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Nowt wrong with a viggie. I love mine to bits, always gives me a grin when I'm out on it.
