If you have ridden the bike every day, and that includes riding it in the winter then it is conceivable that you may need a new chain and sprockets, as the salt really eats them.

Thanks for that. Plenty of food for thought when buying the old rocket fuel then!

My parents live in Dover and usually get petrol at a certain supermarket at Whitfield.Is there something wrong with their fuel or do you think the problem came from elsewhere?BTW nice part of the country and I allways say Dover has the best castle anywhere.

I am going to say nothing to implicate anyone in anything.
The story is just that on this particular occaision when I managed to 'fill the whole tank' (Grrrrrrrrr), the fuel was not 'pure' shall we say.

I have filled the bike up and the car many times from this particular petrol station without a problem, and so maybe Lady Luck was just not shining on me that day!!!!!!!!!

Either way, it goes to confirm that cheap fuel may not always be worth the 3p less that other places!!!!!!!!!!
