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: I like two strokes!
Had a GT250 back in the day. What a blast. A decent power band to boot. Unfortunately I don't have any photo's, just the memories.

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: Aldi biking gear from Thursday 30th
Bought 3 pairs of the socks, for me and our 2 lads. Only one base layer left that was too big. Got some chain cleaner and wax too. Not interested in the rest

Re: At Moto GP GF learnt to ride!

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.

Re: Pass button
Yes, it's a right pain. Mine stopped working years ago so I took the button and mechanism off and taped over the opening.
