note too sure about where you are but down in the british outback of devon practically every petrol station sells it off the pump for about 50-65p per litre.
well my bike had a full service history up untill 18,000miles then i had to move away from my dealer thus it is still awaiting its valve check albit the bike is now on 40,000miles so i wouldnt worry about it o much.
i have been doing filters, plugs, oil and coolant changes myself though.
basically after a eventful ride home yesterday (Slippery corners)
i noticed smoke coming from my bike, after a bit of investagation i found that there was some oil dripping onto the exhaust from the drain plug.
but the oil seems to be coming from the front sprocket, if i remember correctly...
Is that the one with the fin like moulding? Hhmm good shout yellow or black?
Ah I already have laf exhaust then... Leo vince with decat and no baffles, been pulled twice for it lol

hhmm ok lol but these sportec m5's elephants are annoying lol.
might also be with the way we design are roads in the uk (i should know i design them) although the planning guys never let me build nice sweeping bends, and we only have room for short sharp corners.

Im not going to argue ive been riding bikes for 11 years and or the past 9 since i have honed my style of riding and icover...
so after the journey home, cornering felt a little werid no sure if this was due to the lack of on off feeling of the throttle?
plus in low gears the bike seemed to top out ...sounded like it was over revving although it wasnt....
i also forgot to take down factory values as i thought both...
I had the pures on my bike and they were really bad, front tyre mostly. It would wander mid corner every corner. Then the front tyre developed a fault. And the tyre fitters actually sent the tyre back t to michelin for testing.
I'd say the oe tyres are better......just bad experience, but my...
