Location: n/a --  
Modifications: Yoshimura RS-3 Race slip-ons. Removed warning stickers and TL1000S stickers on fairing sides. I plan on installing steel braided lines at first service..
Problems: Very mild stumble at about 3,500. Nothing new. Everything else is just perfect.
Comments:
I was all set for the new Honda VTR with a deposit on it. But the more I learned about both bikes, the more I was sold on the TL. I have a 916 and thought the VTR would be better "all round". Changed my mind. The TL is simply a wonderful bike. Civilized, comfortable, great handling and very very fast. Makes noises more like my old VFR 750, tho. A VFR on steroids...

Problems: Cold Running, Clutch slip at 6500rpm, High Mpg the odd stutter normal stuff Suzuki finally replaced the clutch & back torque limiter, thermostat and plugs seems to have finally cured the slip engine now runs at 63C on motorways. Still unsorted - squeeking from rear suspension
Comments:
If it wasn't such a brilliant bike I don't think I would have put up with the hassle. Surprisingly high quality though and much better than expected over a distance. Doesn't half need a grab rail - don't try going down too many steep hills with a large pillion!!!
