XTreme

Great choice of tyre! Bob will say it's gay though!

You raise a good point Marcel! So I've done it!

Interesting Amphitheatre!

Just had a FaceButt memory from 2014 turn up.........

The bike had an oil and filter change yesterday, so today it got fuelled to the brim and then went through the Jet Wash! Next stage is a good polish and then clean and lube the chain. Plenty of time to do that though.....cos it's not going anywhere soon!

It's 10-30 right across the board Pedro!

Heat is harder to take as you get older! I was coping with it 15 years ago now I really struggle.

T700 could be an option! Luis Contreras in Almeria has got a nice one!

Absolutely! Fuss free motorcycling!

Out the Tracer and get a new TA!

I think @Pedro in particular would be interested!

Where's @Skippy.....haven't seem him for a while? Looking for another bike I bet.......cos he's got no offroad capability with the Tracer!

Is the bike fixed yet Alan?

Excellent stuff Alan!

I can do oil changes you twat! But when you're nearly 70 and suffering with a Hernia you really don't feel much like doing it.

Democratically elected!

I found this on the CB500X forum.......the guy seems to know what he's talking about! 10W30 is a multigrade oil. When it is cold it has a viscosity of 10 (the weight of the oil) which means that it is thin. Exactly what you need in a cold engine. When the temperature is +100°C the oil has a viscosity of 30 (somewhat thicker). Again: exactly what you need with a warm engine. Switching to 10W40 is not a disaster: your cold engine runs with the same thin oil (viscosity 10) but when it has +100°C, it will run with a thicker oil (40). A thicker oil could be used when the engine is somewhat worn out as it offers a bit more protection. Remember: thicker oil is harder to pump around.

They advise not to use full synth in them! And anyway, with my oil changing routine of 3000 kms it wouldn't be worth it because longevity isn't a factor in my case.

Nice shots Bob! The one with the boats would be great for BOTM!

I had Castrol Power 1 semi-synth!

What benefit is there in 10-30 then?

It covers the Costa del Sol, which includes Marbella! Serious money to live there!
