I treated my toy a little bit today with a new oil and filter, chain cleaning and lubricating and than acf50 all over metal bits. I might have to adjust chain as well but will do that tomorrow. I'm really enjoying riding every day.
That's exactly why I had a question mark when I first bought it, but when I put "ticking" in search, it seems that every other one has a tick at sometime or other.
Took it to my bike man who looked at me like I was stupid and said "have you listneed to my Ducati" lol (he did have a point, it sounded like a bag of nails)

Pleased you are enjoying it.

Cheers
Gerry
