Title: New (to Me) Monster!
Post by: poke_slow on April 25, 2012, 09:55:25 AM
Hello all.
I'm new on the forum.
My name is Jim and I live in Fairfax, California, USA.
I just picked up a 2007 Monster S2r 1000. 
It's got the silver and black paint and is all stock with 16k miles.
It's pretty sweet.  (now if I can just stop my gas tank from expanding...)
I've been riding since 1992, but have been off the bike for about 5 years, when I sold my 750SS. 
It's good to be back.
-Jim

Welcome to the boards, if you have not heard about the Caswell stuff it works for the tanks application is easy to do. I never get tired of my S2R1k love it I'm going to die with this machine.  [cheeky]

Thanks. 
Totally agree.  I just can't get over how good the s2r is. 
The suspension is the best I have ever tried.  The forks are like tree trunks.
So fast and still has that 2 valve character.  Love it.
I will try to post a picture soon.

Well if you haven't had the suspension tweaked for you, there's room for even more gooder!

Welcome btw
