XTreme Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 And I managed to get Motul this time! What a difference......engine purrs and tickover has dropped! Now I know you can always feel a difference when you change the oil.......as it's old v new. But the Repsol had only been in there for 5 months, and had done only 1800kms/1100 miles. Surprisingly, all went well.....no disasters! Except for managing to burn my finger on the downpipe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 This one was done at 36,600 kms.......next one 39k kms. So that'll be 2400 kms / 1500 miles.......probably around December I'd say! At 40k kms I'll be taking it into Juan Cortes for new plugs (it's got 4) and new air filter! That was an easy job in the old days.......now it's remove tank, and all plastics! FFS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it generates a continual revenue stream for their sales outlets and ensures they stay in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Nice and clean there Pete i don't know why but once the oil is out of the bike i turn into Stan and Ollie and end up kicking or tripping over the waste oil container and getting it everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual! The worst to do are the XT600's with the oil in the frame. Virtually impossible to do those without some sort of spillage. Well I've never managed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 My next oil change is due at 106,000 miles. I will make a lovely job of getting all the oil into the drain tray, none will leak over the floor, the filter will be carefully emptied so as not to splash anything. And then I will blood kick the drain tray by accident or some other clumsiness and there will be oil everywhere. I am like the Jack Douglas of oil changes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
