Hi guys. New member here from Australia. My first post has to be about how frustrating that bloody registration process was. Some of those questions were impossible! It took me about 10 refreshes of the questions to actually get four I could answer.
Question: What does the petcock control? Answer - Fuel flow, fuel, petrol flow, petrol, gas flow, gas - Nope, all wrong...
Question: What ignites the fuel in the cylinder? Answer - Spark plug, plug, coil, ignition coil - Nope, all wrong...
Question: How many petcocks does a modern GS have? Answer - 1, 2 - Nope, both wrong...
Anyway, the questions need more than one answer is correct because guessing the exact wording is frustrating and I almost gave up. It wouldn't surprise me if many people have had to give up and move on.
Anyway, I made it so here's my intro.
I'm onto my second GS500 (naked) which I'm building up as a custom. I've built two as customs before, one of which was for a friend. I find this bike to be a great platform because it doesn't take a huge amount of modification to get it looking pretty unique and it's one of the more higher capacity learner approved bikes here in Australia. I love the Scrambler style which is what I built my last one into and will be doing the same again with the new one. I've attached two photos of my previous build, which sadly I sold before getting a good chance to use it. The next build I'll be making sure I get some good use out of it.
*Seriously... having trouble with the questions again just to post this. This is very frustrating. How many petcocks. One? Incorrect. Two? Incorrect.
