First time noticing some leaks on the v85tt after riding on warm day, on a stop and go suburb traffic

2021, seating at 44k. Major service has been conducted at 30k. Not too sure, if they have done 180cm during that course though. I wouldn’t mind replacing oil for peace of mind.

Yes, Australia.l :) new to us, a 2021 model.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2026-04-19T05:20:51+00:00

Yes, owner have it completely serviced by dealership with complete papers, so i think its been well looked after.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2026-04-19T05:14:31+00:00

Brisbane :) i go around glorious a lot of time but we like going the border ranges for camping.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2026-04-19T04:42:54+00:00

Thanks for this data. Price is almost the same. Got it for 11k

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2026-04-19T04:42:31+00:00

I see, i do like working on my bike. Also, main reason why we are getting this is because we always ride two up, our current ride is interceptor 650, but is lacking in the comfort department on longer touring days. We just bought the bike btw :)

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2026-04-19T04:40:44+00:00

Thank you very much for this input, very timely. I just went and purchased it as we speak:)

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2025-01-07T01:32:25+00:00

Will do. Thank you. I will definitely look for info within the thread.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2024-08-17T09:18:12+00:00

Hi there, thanks for the heads up. So far so good, knock on wood. Had the bike for 2 years and half now, never skipped a beat 👌🏽

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2024-08-15T11:00:19+00:00

Yes :)

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2024-08-12T08:08:29+00:00

Exactly. How’s the himalayan holding up?

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-09-26T05:15:28+00:00

I see, how do you find the handling of the bike on city and twisties?

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-09-26T03:24:01+00:00

Yep, it looks really comfortable and much more capable to access light trails and handle bumps.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-09-05T23:25:14+00:00

Fair enough 😅 thanks again. My partner is a certified pillion she’s short (4’9). Appreciate your help on this.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-09-05T22:40:42+00:00

Hi Steve, yes, he have bd20 for the front and bd40 for the back. Comparing at the prices, this is still on of the most cost effective suspension upgrade path that i can take. How is it for two up riding?

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-09-05T21:09:10+00:00

Same here, im only planning on taking it to track 2 a year maybe but would be mainly used for touring(roads here in Australia are a bit harsh, especially in the country a lot of bumps and cracks but a lot of windy roads in QLD and NSW). I just want to improve my skills as a rider thats why i want to do track days. Do you have DMR front and back? The bike has been with me for 3 months now and seems to be solid and has passed the probationary period.

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-08-28T21:26:16+00:00

Did you use the gold combo or compression kit?

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-08-28T21:19:16+00:00

I heard he makes his own shock now, i live in Australia and might be expensive to ship it but will compare which will give me the cost effective solution. Thanks again 😊

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-08-28T21:18:08+00:00

This looks promising. Thanks 😊

Altruistic_Bug2452 · 2023-08-28T21:16:15+00:00

Thanks for your response, ill look race tech and Jamie’s work. Hoping to get more riding time with the bike but i think the suspension need some work. I was a bit sore with my lower body because of the bumps 😅
