2006 Suzuki GZ250. Bought at 3100 miles and I’ve already gotten it up to 3750. I’ve been wanting a motorcycle for ages, and I knew better to not start on something too powerful. It’s so fun to ride! And comfortable, too, unless I’m on it for 3+ hours, which I do without even knowing because of how fun it is.

Although there is an itch to get something more powerful now. I won’t be able to afford the insurance on that though lol. To get that feeling, I test rode a Harley Davidson Sportster 48, not what people think of a “fast” motorcycle but it might as well be a rocket ship compared to what I have. But I’m super happy with my GZ250 and will keep it through at least April 2024.

    If the fluid is low and was full at the last change that means the pads have significantly worn. I would definitely check the pads and probably replace them along with a full fluid flush and refill. Brakes are far more important than throttle 😊

      I don’t know when the last change was though. The brake fluid level seems to be more or less constant.
