These motors are bulletproof......but like with all bikes, don't cut corners on oil and filter changes!

People have always said to me that I change my oil unneccesarily......but as I tell them, oil is cheaper than metal! :thumbup:

If the tyres are original, it may be time to change them, regardless of how much tread is left. Also, I'd change the oil and possibly the filters.

Do a search for items such as oil and tyres are we have hundreds of threads on them :thumbup:
