2007 GIOVANNI 250
Hello all.
I just purchased a Giovanni 250 about 3-4 weeks ago from e-bay, got it out of the crate and together with little problems. Since then the rear shock rod came unthreaded from the end/head, I managed to repair the thread and add a set screw to keep her locked up. Also the front stuts/forks have gotten a bit soft and I had to make a couple of brackets to keep the dust wiper seals in place. Also I modified the front brake line clamps so the line would not get tangled in the tire, I modified the air filter a bit and plan to replace with a K&N unit soon(this may also require a air box mod or re-build) All in all I am very happy so far. I have had many Suzuki/Honda/Yamaha/Kawi bikes over the years as well. |
