Hi,
I am considering an orange bike as I am impressed by the reports and brief ride on the 500, and need to replace an aging dual purpose Husky. My main area of concern is the required/recommended service intervals as i cannot afford to drag the bike all the way from Moz to Nelspruit every 15 hours running. At present I service both my Husky and Tiger 800 myself but need to know if there are any specialised requirements for the 500. Also how resilient is the rear subframe to a loop type bag? Any other changes or things to consider before buying one - probably second hand.
Thanks
Ken
