I agree Matt..

Surely if you were the bloke handing a bike over to a magazine for testing purposes you'd be making sure the bike is ready to ride.. Since I threw a Suzuki needle into the demo for my dealer (15 model) he has been supplying the new bikes with the needle fitted...

He won't do it for me (I squeeze him on price), but does for anyone else buying a bike off the floor.. Just makes sense to spend a few extra dollars to ensure the rider is happy.

The NOZ/N1E needles have come in Betas, TMs, KTM SX models, and probably more as well.. I'd say they are just a generic 3 taper not owned by any particular brand.
