Needs must unfortunately.

Re: I knew annual oil change recommendations were BS.
What realistically could you save by dragging services out etc besides the risk of damage and accelerated wear. Money, time, materials. I don't like waste. It also guts me to take out oil that still looks clear/clean just because it has been in the engine for 12 months. When I bought my 1190 it had...

Re: coolant /de ionised water mix
Provided you haven't lost too much coolant then it will be fine.
But would want to make sure that there is still a strong enough mix if wherever you store the bike for winter incase of freeze.

Re: I knew annual oil change recommendations were BS.
Would always rather over service than not. When an oil and filter is less than £50 why risk it. I'm going the offroad bikes every 10hours now as only has a 1l oil capacity. Will always try to put a decent brand and spec oil also. What realistically could you save by dragging services out etc besides...

People are probably getting a bit older and mature.
Or need to pee 3 times in the night now so need the beauty sleep between.

Re: Suggestions for Enduro tour
Just come back from Bulgaria with enduromax. Epic time out but wasn't cheap in the end. 3 days riding 4 nights etc all in came to around £1400. When factoring in flights, insurance and costs. Was cracking fun, but at a cost. Same as tracksdays, Fun but getting expensive. Personally I'm looking forwa...

Re: standard mirrors Vs bar end mirrors
Barend mirrors but had the diamond shaped ones and rotated them over my hands (rather than sticking out)
Worked well and no wider than the bars, better view past my elbows than the normal sticky up ones.

Re: Portimao 2024 - Who's interested?????
@menzies3032 will you be hiring a bike or have your own by then? May look into doing a comeback tour. Will be hiring but might have moved to a Gixxer 750 rather then a ZX636 as looks like he is moving to USA imports due to reliability issues with the Kawasaki (blowing Gear boxes) and Triumphs (over...
