And by what time will it be started up and you indulging listening to the pur of the engine it has not been started in a while pete, show rocker cover off, plugs out, and turn the back wheel when in gear, make sure the tappets are opening and closing, then oil and filter change mate. |

what oil do we use these days, used to use silkolene 10W/40, is there any better? my bikes I run on 10w/40 semi synthetic. I always have a quick gander at the code on the oil. it should begin with API (which I think is for application) but basically means it not recycled, then there should be some letters (something like cc/cd) then a further letter and this is the one that makes me buy it or leave it on the shelf, this letter is the quality rating, personally speaking I consider an f to be fail, so any oil rated g or above should be decent stuff |
