G'day to everyone and a Happy New Year, I am from Australia and I am very interested in getting a 650 Burgman, (if anyone is interested I have posted my bio on the "who we are" subject forum.
In South Australia where I live there is not one 650 Burgman in any of the bike shops, there is one 250 but I can't make a true comparison with it to the 650. Any questions I have about the 650 I ask are either met with blank stares or some made up crapp that makes no sense.
Can someone out there in "Burgy Land" what type of final drive system does it utilise. The Suzuki site says it is shaft drive, one sales person told me it was belt drive and another told me it was "a series of gears" whatever the hell that means. I have also read the discussion you had about the V belt and if it needs changing at certain service intervals, am I correct in assuming that it basically remains in service unless it actually breaks or fails somehow. Also what is the range of tyres like for the 650 are there different manufacturers and different compounds available. It's bloody hard to by a bike without seeing a real one, I havn't even seen one on the road although I have heard there are 3 or 4 getting round the place somewhere. Any advice or answers to the above would be appreciated, regards.
