Rebuilt the engine in the nexus, just the transmission to sort then put back in the bike.

Hi Chris,

I thought long and hard over this one as I wanted something physically bigger than the SH300 to transport two in comfort.
I wasn't sure about the Honda Integra, felt that the Beverly sport touring didn't offer much more than the SH and the 'big' Bugrman, well, as I previously had one before the SH300, I wanted a change. In the end I opted for one with the letters BM in it -Yep, you've guessed it..........................................A Burgman 400!

I have got a long way to go to catch up with Mark (Horobags). That said, Mark and I do have something in common though, we are both members of the famous 'Ugly' bunch! :D

Could be a mistake on the Suzuki gb site, but it shows that the non-abs 400 is available in WHITE.

Hi Dave,

White would have been nice but I opted for a grey one which matches the colour of the GSX1250.
Also, I found a second hand one at a dealers with only 500 miles on it, just had its first service and £1200 less than a new one, so previous owner basically paid the VAT. Result!

Sound much different?
hard to tell. The one I removed was a race can and I did not like the noise it made, it did not suite a scooter - does that sound daft? got the same race can on my xv100 and that sounds deep and loud, it suites the bike.
Back to the tmax sound, volume is about the same as OEM but more of a woosh than a vroom, really hard to describe a sound when you need to write it down. The noise does not attract attention when speeding - sorry I ment riding with due care and attention. Top speed may be 5MPH faster but 0 to 60 is well improved.
My theory was, right or wrong, if it was OEM for a 750 with the restrictions that it intales, if I only gas it with a lower reving and less CC motor it might not reach the point where the restrictions make a difference. All in all it seems to work well
Never instal version 1.0

Took a few extra pictures of the Nexus so I can prepare an Ad on Ebay to start this weekend.
