(Long time no post) Welcome to the "Like to Burgman" club! Congrats! the dash lights on yours are prettier than mine :(  I got my 2012 Burgman new last year and have put 10k trouble free miles on it. If you're looking for a better windshield, take a peek at the Givi Airflow for the 400. I've been planning on getting one for a while, met a guy at Amerivespa last year that swore by his. You can put it up for highway, colder weather and lower it for more airflow in hotter months or for around town riding. In the UP position the air passes above your head, makes things quieter and leaves your neck a little less sore after a long/fast ride. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-af266-airflow-windscreen-suzuki-burgman-400-2007-2014

Oh and second on the Mitch's youtube channel. He's pretty much the reason I got a Cheeseburgman. Everything you'll need to know for your first services is in a playlist under Mitch's Scooter Stuff.
Hello there!
Yeah, been watching his scooter videos for a couple of years. Just like working on scooters so I watched stuff like that..
And I went the other way on the screen...since I do not like big screens. Saw some short screens on the SkyWay 200s that I liked, but bought this Ermax sport screen. And I like the way it rides for me - reminds me of the stock Forza screen. My Nolan is noticeably more aerodynamic than my old HJC....so the wind is no issue at the speeds I ride. When I get out from under this break-in period will begin enjoying this scooter more.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Awesome, I like the way that looks. I don't really care for the stock screen, but I like it better than the touring GIVI that you have to look through. If you browse around the Burgman forums you'll find lots of tips about the 400. MOST beneficial is on take off to get the RPMs up fast as possible to engage the clutch, then throttle back once it does. If you baby your take offs it takes zero time for the clutch to glaze over on the Burg then you're left with some really chattery starts while it slips, but once it warms up it's usually fine. Good rule of thumb is to jump up to about 4k on take off then let the speed catch up. A few people, including myself, have noticed that during long distance FAST runs (over a few hundred miles at 70+mph) you possibly will loose some oil through the crank case pvc. It was a noticeable problem on the pre 06 models, supposedly fixed on the +07.... but it still does/can happen. Just check that oil window more often if your doing long/fast rides. Most i've ever had to add was about 1/8 of a qt between oil changes but that was also after about a 500mile trip. Around town and under 70mph mine has never lost a drop. Once again, congrats on the Burgman. Now I STILL have to look into that GIVI airflow and adding a backrest one of these days.

Actually, I went with a shorter wind screen (Ermax)...& have much less wind issues...might be the noticeably better aerodynamics of the Nolan helmet. Seriously less wind drag on the noggin.

Notice in the thread title it say Burgman AN400? Burgie alone ain't good nuff he has to put that AN400 in there too. Kinda like rubbing our noses in it..........................He's probably out washing and waxing it right now and there wasn't a speck of dirt on it.
