Welcome to the forum, you'll have to wait for the 1250 guys, original bandits don't have noises, well none that I can hear with my earplugs in. Laughing

Awesome thanks. Hope to see all on a ride soon, just message me if there is a run on. No 10 min skips through the national park though. no point getting up for it.( but a run to Singleton via Maitland and double back through the Putty is cool!) Wink

Hmm. You have sparked a future idea Re-Cycled,. That's a pretty cool run south actually. But If my boss hasn't dragged my sorry sole in. I will head home and test the roads of old. Gee, id best remember this bike is heavy. Cool

Welcome aboard.
Anyone who thinks their B1250 engines are noisy have never ridden mid 80's Yamaha's or Kawas. Even compared to other Suzuki's I've had I wouldn’t say mine is noisy. Don’t forget there is no fairing down below (until current GSX).
I have heard some people ask about a clutch "tick" at idle on other forums. Cant say I've noticed but I don’t idle for long on my commute.

Hello again. Just a quick thankyou for all the welcomes's(<spell check) and im happy to have found a forum dedicated to a smaller selection of bikes.. As for the knocking, it was on my mind all bloody day and i just got home took it out of the shed went for a 20 min stint on it and just put it down too new bike syndrome. Now its beer oclock.. Very Happy

Welcome to the site Ad. Smile

Sorry to hear about the rain, real pain in the arse with a new bike to ride. Smile

Welcome Ad. And don't let the rain or fear stop you from riding.

As for noisy bikes, there's nothing quite like the sound of a Ducati. At start up they sound like a washing machine full of loose change, even the ones with wet clutches are a tad rattlely.

Glad to hear that it's not only the older (2006) bikes that can be noisy, I too currently have new bike syndrome complete with noises. Adds character apparently.
