What do you hate about your current bike(s) and what....

[McGee]

So whats that one thing you hate about your current bike(s) and what would you change ?

Mine would have to be the pegs on the 1000, the pegs are brutal and suck for any mileage, they are alot thinner than the six and drilled for lightness.

I'm considering swapping them for the 600's pillion pegs as they are the same as the riders on the six. Until I can afford some rear sets.

Also a lap timer would be nice and an easier to activate shift light.

The 600 I dislike how the revs feel compared to the 1000's they feel to easy, the 1000's revs just feel more manly, the 600 feels like the revs are "light" don't get me wrong its not a slow bike, it just doesn't feel fast.

So what do you hate about your bikes and want to change ?

One day though

I wish the Gixxer had higher bars to spare me just a smidge of wrist ache, and also wish it was dynojetted / K&N'd as it's not as quick as my old "L".

I wish the YR5 did more than 55 miles to reserve and didn't use as much 2T oil as petrol. I also wish it didn't vibrate so much through the pegs that it numbs your toes and makes you walk like a cripple after a ride.

There's nothing i 'hate' about my bike(K5 750 Gixer), but there are a few things i dislike:

I get a numb big toe on my right foot after about 50 miles - but i accept this as a consequence of having 4 lumps of metal travelling up and down near my foot at 14000 times per minute.

The 50 mile numb toe doesn't bother me that much because after about 45 miles i need to stop and take a pee. I accept this as a consequence of a) sitting atop a high revving engine, b) the fact that i only really ever drink either coffee or alcoholic beverages, and c) my age.

The 50 mile numb toe and the 45 mile bladder range doesn't bother me that much, because after around 40 miles i generally need to stop and change my pants, smoke a cigarette and let the feelings of terror/panic subside.

-The engine is so gut less. Doesn't accelerate from 60.
-Brakes are too poor for its weight.
-Frame is so slightly built.
It's difficult to solve these problems unless I change bikes.

[funmonkee]

Vmax is heavy. And has a small fuel tank.

What annoys me is the fact my top speed is only 38mph.

Also that it uses a Minarelli vertical engine rather than a Minarelli horizontal so under seat storage is at a minimum (it's taken up by the engine). It does allow the wheel base to be very small though therefore lighter.

The scooter does what I want it to do though so I still love it.

[Barry_M2]

The only thing I dont like about the 750 is the colour of the wheels. The previous owner decided to get them colour coded to the bike (Red / While / green)!!

Nothing I dont like about the 916.

1. its not quick enough
2. if i get better at wheelieing im going to blow up another engine
3. its ugly

the only thing im proud of is the exhaust note, and i think my sv is one of the best looking sv's.

Having to polish it all the time, Infact i'm shortly off to give it a good clean, Once i've decided what i'm doing with the back end i may get everything powdercoated.

Seat gets uncomfy after an hour or so and i dont like the indicators, They look nice but they're too small and fiddly.

at around 4.5-5k revs, the clocks, the bars, and the fairing vibrate, annoyingly. It's the sound that irritates me more than anything.

I wish it would stop. I often change into a less suitable gear, just to make it stop.

[king kong]

Its not new and every one thinks its ugly (which it is!)
