its exactly the same. no difference. but who knows whether they've solve the clutch problem. there was this ang mor who bought a 2nd hand, less than 1 year old K7 AN400. the clutch kept jumping and skipping. he went to the agent and they didn't wan to change for him. i myself had this problem too when i bought my brand new K6 AN400 . after riding for less then 2 months, my clutch slipped and the agent say its my own fault.

I'm the 'ang mo', I had the clutch changed (had to pay). Clutch OK now, but need to drive about 3-5k more to see if the new clutch will have same problem as the old. The new clutch have a new part number so something is changed, I assume the K8 have the same new part. Old man in shop said that one more K7 had done the same change, just before me. According to http://www.burgmanusa.com/ all K7 does not have the problem, but it is a common problem. But impossible to estimate if it is 5% or 95% of the K7's that have it by asking people to post in a forum.

Happened to see a K4 Burgman at the Raffles City carpark. FY 3X8X..... does it belong to anyone here?

[paithorn]

Denso....received delivery of yr bike?

[DEnSo]

i collected my bike , running in is a *****

[william_liu]

Congrats! So is it a K7 or K8???

 

Anyway running in can be fun actually.... unless you're doing it by the book

[william_liu]

Yo arcfire, about the intermittent idling/bike dying thing, today I just dumped half a bottle of STP Complete Fuel Cleaner (i know it may not be the best thing for the engine.... but I was desperate... ) and it seemed to help a bit.

thanks william , still haven confrim with GH with my fin number yet ,1 week ago call and checked and they said they had 1 last k8 out there not registered yet , so i guess most likely its mine, will double confirm again. , its colour is kinda , i duno how to describe it , looks like gunmetal , looks like blue , something like bmws kind of blue .

 

well runnin via the book's method is simply unrealistic ,as the burgman requires rpm of 3k plus to engage the clutch , running it under 4krpm is like u know wat speed . hence i limit my self to 5.5k rpm at the moment and trying my best to vary the road speed and engine speed .

 

any recommend periods for oil change ? 500--->1000--->1500

 

oh ya , the storage is god like ! and the engine cuts off if side stand is down as a safety feature, so warm ups in the morning die die have to be on main stand , trying to figure out how to bypass the switch. and the windblast is kinda bad , direct to my face and the orginal windscreen is flimsy , hope a higher and sturdier ermax will finetune it

 

looking forward to learn more abt the burgman with you guys, this is my 1st suzuki , couple of things to be done to get running to my peference , so hope you guys can bear with then question coming as i discover my ride.

 

regards

[william_liu]

looks like you're on the right track, IMHO!

 

Anyway if you want to be kiasu can always shorten the intervals:

 

200 -> 500 -> 1000 -> 1500

 

As for the safety switch, I've defeated it by getting the mechanic to fashion a metal bracket so that the switch is always engaged.

 

Anyway I always warm up the bike on the centerstand, only use the sidestand in case i need to get something from the box but don't want to switch off the engine.

 

As for the windscreen, you must be rather tall as I find the standard on my K just nice (me 1.7m)!
