took delivery of my 09 on april 18th at 6pm, it's been in the shop getting warranty work done since the 19th at 11:00am. has 70 Km's on it. My only ride report so far is that it died haha..... on a lighter note, i'mgetting a new one from kawa. it's in and i should be riding it by friday! i guess on the bright i got to be excited about my new bike... twice!

 

Hi all,
Dropped my new 250S. Bent clutch lever and gouged a side cover. Dealer wants $24 for a clutch lever I checked at CheapCycleParts.com and Babbitt.com. $3.08 and $4.16 respectively. Unfortunately S/H is $11.74/$14.95. Has anyone dealt with either of these? Any recommendations?

BikeBandit.com and Babbittsonline.com are both OEM parts. They usually take a few days to ship. You may be better off going to lowes and picking a mapp torch. Heat it until it is red hot and bend it back....then you always have a torch on hand.

 

Cut it, short levers FTW.
So far I like my '09, just put new Dunlop D606s on it and they are meaty. Also added a Ricochet skidplate to my list of mods. Also swapping out the K&N filter for a Twin Air.

 

Thanks Xplosivo - I'm a tool nut and I'd like to have a Mapp torch. However, I'm concerned about cosmetics. I imagine the lever would show the effects of the repair. I mull it over and thanks again for the great advice.

bought it. took it out the next day and wrecked it on some logging roads at about 50 mph. after that it was all good. its a nice machine, but no powerhouse. i ride it anytime i can. iv'e put 400m on it in a month and half. needs a pipe tho, the putting of the exhaust kills me, ive never owned anything quiet.

 

Rode Mulholland Hwy. today by myself. So I did'nt push it too hard but was still able to scrape the foot pegs on a couple of curves...







And a couple of screw around pics near home...

 

rode it in to work today ........ cop was doing the radar thing; I saw that look in his eye like he had me....... I was over by 5...... but I think he was thinking dirt bike!

when I looked in my mirror he was slamming the top of the car!
foiled by another license plate HHHHAAAAAhahahahaha


sorry didn't mean to inter"fear" with my 06 babble

 

Huh?
