Hi. I've not been on for a while. I still have my 89 and up until 2 weeks ago it was my daily ride. It's still running well but I bought a new bike 2 weeks ago and am using that for my daily ride now, so the Exup is in early retirement. I'm going to strip it for a blummin good clean and service over winter, bringing her back on the road next summer.
Other than me, I haven't seen a single Exup on the road this year. :(
smells like teen spirit.......

Just need some new blood. Probably not so many hairy-arsed road gods as the bikes are getting long in the tooth. Maybe a move in the direction of fast classics. There's a mountain of info in here to maintain, troubleshoot, modify and restore your EXUP.
Keep on keepin' on.

It's not that we're not friendly or about very often. Most folk on here have had their bikes for a long time so most are either sorted or members aren't modding any further than their current specs. Downside of that is not a lot of questions being asked
