Hi guys, I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you for being on this forum and contributing towards a wealth of Burgman knowledge on BUSA. I have had my 2004 Suzuki Burgman 400 with 7900 original miles for almost 7 months now, and I bought it in January 2014. Before that, I had a Chinese scooter that kept giving me issues and the muffler bolts even came off as I was riding it! I am so glad I got rid of that one and bought this Suzuki Burgman. I have put over 3000 miles in seven months on it. Currently at 10,300 miles. At this rate, I estimate I am averaging about 350 miles a month. I ride daily and love it. It came with a big ass GIVI windshield so wind is not a problem anymore, compared to my Chinese scooter when I always had the wind blowing in my face
I take it everywhere, in town, on the highway, and I even modified it to go fishing with it! I used two PVC pipes at the end of my luggage rack attached to my milk crate and secure the fishing poles with bungee cords.
I love the storage and the reliability of it.
The only issues that I have ever had were:
1. Battery had to be replaced within a month because of a bad cell (easy fix)
2. Headlights went out at around 9000 miles and had to be replaced. (Easy fix)
3. Valves were way too tight and had to adjust them. The Scooter would not start when hot but would start only when cold. After I adjusted the valves and loosened them, it would start every single time whether it was hot or cold. (Hard fix)
4. Last but not least, my back hurts when I go for long rides on the freeway, and I just ordered a utopia back rest and will be installing it over the summer to help alleviate the back issue.
I average 48 miles per gallon in city and 55 miles per gallon on the freeway. All my fellow two wheel riders are so jealous of how much storage space I have and are shocked when I show them how much space of storage I have inside the seat. Parking is never an issue as I am able to always find a small spot for my Burgman to park. I pay $310 a year through Allstate insurance company because I am 20 years old. Last but not least, I love the passenger backrest because when I find a girlfriend, she will love to go on rides with me!:kermit:
I never take it to the dealer, and I always do my own maintenance and repairs. I have saved almost $800 by doing my own repairs and I would not have been able to do these without the help of BUSA members! The Suzuki Bergman 400 is the most reliable, practical, and comfortable Scooter out there currently in the Scooter world. Thank you and God bless.
