VTR1000.ORG

Hello all.
Just joined for the massive amount of info that appears to be stored here.
My name is Dan from Sydney, Australia and I have been riding roadbikes for about 20 years.

I got my first VTR a few years ago and loved it. Unfortunately it lasted a total of three months in my possession. A car turning in front of me put an end to what was a magnificent motorcycle:





After the VTR I bought a TLS but was never happy with it. I bought a Bandit after that and Streetfightered it and eventually sold it (still regretting it...)

I saw this beauty and couldn't resist so I am back on a beautiful VTR.




I found out about the CCT issues when the bike went bang but thankfully still in the hands of the dealer so they fixed it before I picked it up. Kreiger tensioners are already on order and I look forward to chatting with some likeminded individuals

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the vtr :-)

You should have better luck with it this time. Welcome to the forum

We have a few Aussies on here so maybe you can meet up for a ride out.

(:-})

Now take proper care of this one!

And welcome.

nice looking bike! Too bad about your last ride, I hope you're OK and didn't get hurt too badly.

welcome to the forum buddy.....

Welcome to the family matey. Jeez the back of thae tank looks like it causedyou pain!! Do you find you speak a few octaves higher after the accident?

Thanks for the welcome

I definitely intend to look after this one!
I can gladly say I managed to produce a healthy baby boy after the accident!

I have been having a few issues with starting the bike on cooler mornings. I dare say the battery isn't up to the task of getting those slugs firing. Is there a specific battery I should be looking for to stop me having to use jumper leads off the car to get it going?

Welcome aboard Dan Good luck with the new bike,

Chris.

Welcome back to VTRs

Take care of this one
