Four months of ownership/riding in Irish weather trouble free until Monday that is. It does seem like an oversight, especially from a Japanese company that has regular monsoons, and the drain hole wouldn't be up to much when the bikes on the side stand.

The boot is definitely split so no amount of cleaning, greasing is going to fix that. Ran into a problem with my splash guard. There's so little room between the rad fan and the head I'm struggling to shape 1 piece of aluminium in there. We'll see how I get on.
