2003 Suzuki TL1000R review from United States of America
"Awesome bike, you either love the TLR or hate it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
One of the rubber grommets for suspension is starting to deteriorate, and every now and then I get a false neutral.
General comments?
This bike is great, but does require some seat time to get used to.
The torque is amazing and requires a gentle hand in the corners.
I still have no idea how to set up the suspension for my body type, but I have gotten used to the stock settings.
I have replaced the stock seat with a gel seat for comfort.
