| Hi everyone. Accidental VX800 owner here. My names Pete Connelly and I was looking for a new (old!) bike. Needed a bit of upright due to an old (non bike) neck injury which reared its ugly head every time I went over 20 minutes on my (now sold) Triumph Daytona 955.
Never considered a cruiser, cos I don't like Harleys, and was never sure the Japanese could do one. Wow! How wrong was I. A VX800 (1991) popped up and bang I was in the Suzuki 800 club. Fabulous bike. I am having untold fun. Needs a little tuning (I think it's restricted-so that will have to go!), but big smile on face and enjoying my biking for first time in a year or so.
Thanks for the welcome.
Question, Any one any idea what model number it might be (you know E 01/02 etc) ? The Vin number is; VS51A102899 and engine number S501-1060B8. Any other clues I should be looking at ? Also I have a downloaded 'Service Manual' and a Haynes 'Suzuki Intruder, Marauder, Volusia '85 to '06 ' manual. Anything better out there for a newbie to both maintenance, fettling and Suzukis ?
Any help most welcome. | |

Ps I'm not gay! warning don't let this lot know your weaknesses they pounce like lions  | |

| Welcome on board Pete - I moved over to a cruiser for more or less the same reasons, sore neck, sore back, sore arse (tho that had nothing to do with Gay Justin). Enjoy your ride - you'll find people here will be able to point you in the right direction with any queries you may have (no more Justin jokes please) | |

| Welcome on board Pete ... Don't take any notice of Sim's comment about HawktheSlayer. Justin's never slept with any gay man - but he did tell us that he has slept with a man who has  | |

|  Peter from another Peter! You'll find oodles of fun n gay jokes on here about Justine no matter what he say's! A lot of knowledge out there with the guys though but as Sim say's try to put any questions in the relevant topics area. | |
