Re: GS911 service light reset ?

You can set a date and mileage, usually the first one reached will activate the service light.

Is there’s 50mph limit along the Horseshoe pass these days?

Re: Anyone bought a bike without a test ride

I’ve bought a Kawasaki GT550 (sold after 3 years), Suzuki bandit600 (9years), Yamaha Fazer 1000 (9years) and BMW R1200RT LC (8 1/2 years and current bike) brand new from dealers without riding any of them, the decision based purely on reviews in magazines. Haven’t regretted any of them.
