Re: Oil Loss, too much?
My SV used to loose oil when touring, but was ok for the rest of the time! I always had to top it up each day by a small amount. Once I was away for a week and it took about a litre. |

Re: Poor start
My 99 Curvy is a bit of a pain from cold too. Sometimes it would take a good few goes to fire up with full choke. A few times I have tried just half choke or even no choke and it seemed to fire up... |

Re: SL0 Fork Seal Replacement - Me v Garage
Doing the forks can be difficult if it's your first time. Maybe a compromise is to take them off and give them to a mechanic to do (as i have done) and do the head bearings yourself. |

Re: Oil problem
Had the same problem a few years ago on short commutes in the winter. Clean it up an go for a long ride. Keep and eye on it though, shouldn't be a big deal. Go for an oil change if it's due soon. |
