Pros and cons
Advantages
Lower seat for 2006
At 785 mm, the seat is 5 mm lower than the 2005 version, which can make reaching the ground easier.
Adjustable suspension
The fork's preload adjustment and the rear suspension's seven preload and four rebound settings allow changes to the suspension setup.
Things to consider
Heavy to maneuver at a standstill
Its 212 kg dry weight can make pushing and low-speed maneuvering more demanding.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs cleaning and adjustment, unlike a maintenance-free drive.
