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...

Re: RTTB 2023 - June 25th. CHANGE TO STARTING LOCATION.

People are probably getting a bit older and mature.

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)

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...
