Hi all, I have just purchased a 2016, (19000 kms) was a repairable write off with damage to the chair only, nothing structural and bike wasn't touched, all professionally repaired. I have had a number of bikes but new to outfits. I do work overseas so this one is going into storage for a year and will order some stuff prior to a twice over and registration on my return. A few questions, any thoughts greatly appreciated. 1. Gearbox is clunky, I would say agricultural, is this normal? 2. Best place to buy a new tonneau cover 3. Silencers are rusted, I could sand and paint black but any reasonably prices options? 4. I have only ridden it 20kms before storing, engine light did come on for a while and then dissappeared, I hear there is a "key turn diagnosis process" will get manual and read up but engine sounds and feels good.
Will read through the forums to get the gist of this machine but any input greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Phil

Yep, gearbox is clunky. Normal.

Welcome Phil, Gearbox clunking is normal. Change to 80/90 gear oil. Don’t worry about intermittent light. I have a pair of stainless silencers in excellent condition if you want them….not too dear. If you have the high-back seat, I have a tonneau as well. If yours is the faded fabric, you can dye it.
Just ask questions as necessary if you can’t find the answer in the forum already………use the search bar.
A few of us coming to the South West corner in May…🤣

Welcome Phil, there's a few of us here in WA now. I'm in North Perth, there's another rider that lives two streets away from me, another I've met that lives in Fremantle, and one in Albany and Mandurah respectively that I know of, undoubtedly a few more out there. Ural Australia is the best for new accessories and parts if you need them.
