Hello from Upstate NY

Hi, my name is Mitch. I live in Rochester NY. I bought a 2009
690r about 3 weeks ago. I am hoping to use it as my adventure
bike. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to ride it yet because of
the weather but I have been doing a little wrenching on it.
Nothing major but fixing little things (blinker lens, headlight
bulb) and changing fluids. Next on the list is checking the
valves, new tank bolts and new fuel filter.

Welcome to the forum Dogfarm,
Good luck with the tank bolts. There's a pretty good video
walking you through it step by step over in the "What Broke"
section.

Be sure let us in on any insight you gain from the process.

Rusty, thanks for the pointer to the tank bolt procedure. I just
ordered the upper and lower bolts from the guy in Serbia that is
in the vendors section of ADVRIDER. The PO gave me a set of the
mudguts upper tank bolts. If anybody wants them, I can give them
up for $20 plus shipping.
The weather cleared enough for me to actually ride to go out for
a ride. Wow, what a fun bike! Throttle seems a little twitchy to
me but that could be from my experience riding bikes with a lot
less power.
