Lol. That's exactly how I describe my hands as well. And yes, I have trouble getting in to adjust the headlight or to replace the bulb.

 

Things that annoy me:
1 the only parts that break on mine are the one that are hard to get.
2 timing chain rattle
3 no storage

other than that she is all good :-)

 

1 Timing chin is an easy fix - you just need a new tensioner and a DID camchain with a masterlink.Takes about 5-7 hours, depending on how mechanically minded you are.
2 True, so true, you can get a puncture repair kit in the tail section, and a canister of goo will fit in the side pod in front of the CDI unit on the right side. As for the rest, well, tank bags or tailpack, or hard luggage. Many of the Oz lads use a backpack rack...............

 

A lot of the racks were made by "Gearsack" who went under years ago,rare as Hensteeth,i sold mine last year[foolish]!
The other alternative is from Albury,the Ventura rack system........very pricey though!

 

I have a gearsack rack. but no gearsack.

 

Continued:
That damn clip inside the lower fairing that clips the two halves together......GRRRR!
Headlight globe change!!!!!!!!!!!
The Rubber threads for the screen..........push to hard in it goes sits on top of the headlight,you wont get it back till you change the globes.

The Battery compartment,trying to jiggle the battery out,move the pos/neg leads ,oh that battery starts to weigh like 20 kilos in one hand.

 

The only thing I hate about my baby is making her sit idol in the garage.

 

That is exactly what I was thinking. Winter. Bah, humbug.

 

Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in but we don't have winter here. It is in the 70's this week during the day. I just don't have a lot of time right now.
