Glad you're so happy with it! Yes, get armored gloves. If you get the mesh kind, you can wear Isotoners underneath for cold times. Or just spring for a pair of mesh for hot weather, and pair of insulated for cold.  And an explanation--the first pic only, it looked light-gold, like a champagne colour. Which I know the Burgy came in, at least for one year. That's why I was confused if it was goldish or silver. So how many miles of whee have you already put on it? >'Kat |

Got mesh armor gloves as well just didn't get picture of them. And yeah loving it, put about 20 miles on it so far before the snow started falling again. Half way home on my first longer journey it started showing.made it home but man it sucked.at least I know I can manhandled it if needed to keep it upright. Boy did it suck though

Well when doing an initial body strip to Look at air filter and what not I noticed a few cracked non fluid lines that I taped up for now. Sits running smoother than it was and acceleration is better as well. Next is sliders in the variator and valves adjustment

Do not put sliders in the variator. There is something about the profile of it that makes it common for them to flip. They did in mine just replace them with stock or similar and forget about them for another 15,000 miles...

Already did the change. The ones that were in there weren't bad so keeping them just in case 26 13 20g Dr pulleys. Really has helped in the weather we are having here. Not as torquey on takeoff so less wheel chance of wheel slide in bad traction environment. Also dropped my higher end rpms and for me that is great. If they flip I got tools and older rollers (look like also Dr pulley) to take care of it but no problems so far. You are the first I heard of that had slider flip though and I read up as much as I could before deciding most I seen was unusual wear from the edge of the variator plate cutting into then

so looked up burgman 400 sliders flipping and found all the threads about it. Looks like it has to do with dust and slight hang up of movement in the plate or the sliders themselves or during installation. And it just raises rpms at cruising (not horrible) when it happens. But it also doesn't seem to effect everybody. so I shall take my chances and see what my results are. I really like the lower rpm's at highway cruising and the better control on acceleration in city and takeoff so that to me makes it worth the risk.
