Hello all. Just a quick hello from a newish 2004 tuono owner. First ever tuono / v twin and all I can is wow [emoji6]
Previous bike was a 954 blade which I loved but was just uncomfortable on the wrists. It was great on the twisties but getting there was a killer [emoji15] once had a street triple which I loved so wanted to get back on a street fighter and considered Street fightering the blade but couldn't bring myself to butcher it.
I don't get on the bike half as much as I used to or would like to with a young family and prob did 2k miles on the blade in 2 years of ownership. I've had the tuono for 3 months and managed to put on 1.5k miles it's that good I can't keep off it [emoji12]
I've just Stripped and regressed the rear suspension linkage and have a oberon clutch slave cylinder to install. Other jobs for winter include new plugs and coolant change.
Found the forum invaluable for tech help [emoji2]
Here's the only pic I have.. When I went to view the bike one of the fuel tank breather holes was blocked forcing water into the fuel tank when opened. The owner and I then proceeded to drain all fuel and unblock the breather.
