    hey guys i finaally got my across registered and im having a ball riding as its my first bike, just a few questions i have concerning it
    firstly is about 180kms per tank right for fuel millage

    secondly i want to repaint it as it has a few scratches can you get any of the stickers on it from anywhere or is it something i would have to get make up for a sign place

    thirdy i have a dodgey spark lead are they something you can replace individually or do i have to replace all of them and the coil as its all attached like they guy at the wreckers told me

    thats all i can think of right now lol
    thanks guys

    hey Phil

    As the Across was Australian delivered, i think you will find that Suzuki will stock or can get the decals for your bike, I'd give your local dealer a call and ask. While I love original factory paint jobs, might be worth checking out Phil's Across , this had a respray and looked sweet. Phil had heaps of comments asking him if it was a 500 or 750

    Your mileage sounds about right, the main issue with the Across was a small fuel tank (12l) and in comparison to other 250cc sports bikes, lets not forget the weight...  the GSX250F was about 20 kg's heavier due to a steel frame verses aluminium frames on the CBR, ZXR, FZR . I have heard of other riders getting 220-240 kms from a tank, but they must have been taking it easy.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Hi kiffsta thanks for that info I was actually thinking about painting it a new ford color which is very similar to a candy red I seen the other day. I just wanted to keep some of the original decal too lol I'm going over to my local Suzuki dealer soon so I will ask the question. And I thought that was about right with the fuel range lmao

    thats a sweet looking paint job, i went and priced the decals and i wont be buying any new ones seeing how they start at like $250 and go up to $400 each sticker well thats what he told me he couldnt even be bothered to look it up on the computer, i need to find a better suzuki dealer i think
