Just saying hello

[aelius]

Hi,

My name's Alex and I'm from Gateshead. I've just bought my first Monster - an S2R 800 - upgrading from a restricted DT125. It hasn't arrived yet, but that's no excuse to skulk in a corner not speaking to anyone :mand:

Erm, that's all I've got to say for now. No doubt I'll have more to write when my new bike arrives!!

Hope you don't have too long to wait and the November weather is kind

He he - thanks!

It should be here next week, and I ride all year round (except when it's icy), so a bit of rain doesn't bother me!!

[Yorkie]

Stupid questions eh? I've got one for you:

I've just taken the 'bikini' fairing off my S2R - never did like the look of it. Some of the wiring behind it looks a bit exposed if you know what I mean.

Just wondering if anyone else had done the same thing and experienced any problems? I'm going to wrap them up a bit in sparky tape, but thought I'd better ask in case there was anything I should watch out for :)

Unlikely to be any problems - those of us with 'Dark' models don't get the fairing anyway - just a 'nekkid' headlight and clocks.

I've been out in all weathers and never had a problem... I've even unplugged all the connectors when tweaking the front end of the bike (headlight and clocks just unplug) and once its put back together had no probs. Go for it.

Brill! That's good to hear.
I had a feeling that would be the case, but it's my new baby, so it was worth checking!!

Thanks :)

Hello to a fellow red/white s2r 800 rider.

You're a bit far away up there, but maybe I'll wave if we go to up to Scotland again next year.

[aelius]
