  1. Cheers for the welcome. I'm gonna have a play around and see what I can do. A decent bike and only 8k from new. Also it bumpstarts easily in the morning (moody batt), unlike the converted drag bikes that were akin to bump starting a massey ferguson...
  2. fair enough! was just wondering if anyone has played with/got decent results with a divvy. Hey ho, back to the classifieds.... Sorry for starting off with a question, bad form, I know!
  3. Hi, Bernie is me. Hello all! Due to blah blah blah.. I find myself relegated to a '96 divvy 600s. 'WOW!' I hear you say. Surprised as I am as with it's happy going, neutrality of steering; I find the thing a bit, well 'all over the shop' when 'pressing on'. (6800 miles, serviced, sweet running, apart from the rattle) I understand that I really need something else, but recession says no. and I kinda like it too... Can anyone of you good people advise/recommend a suspension upgrade? Is it not worth it? maybe engine/carb tweaks are expensive/inneffectual? I don't mind a few quid on forks and Hagons/WP/Ohlinswhatever as long as I don't have to give Tony Scott,Stan or even Yamaha etc ££££.PP to get 7BHP. Seeing as crossplanes/Vmaxii are silly dough, I'd like to have bit of fun on this bugger first. Hallo anyway, Bernie
