It’s home at last!

Quite like the idea of that Stahlbus plug thingy. Definately would be grateful for the chance of buying a replacement sump pan Ken!

Oddjob:
I fitted one to my CBB1300 Johnny, it had a tendency to drop oil onto the exhaust when doing oil changes, it also saved me changing the sealing washer every time. Since then I've done a lot of oil changes and never spilt a drop except when I change the filter that is.

Seriously get one, they are a godsend.

Just found the 2 spare pans, not sure if one is off my engine or not. Both are in excellent condition. £30 plus P&P if you want one. You need the sump plug as well?

Johnny4428:
Just bought a new sump plug last week Ken to put in it so I’ll take the pan without the plug thanks! No rush Ken as I’ll probably not change it until next oil change. I’ll get on the PayPal case soon as you know what the postage is.

Well had a first run out on the 550 this afternoon, just added it to my multi bike policy, £16 neither here nor there. Just did 6 miles or so and returned home to assess. Not much heat in No2 exhaust. Looked at the plug and cap and quite sure I had only been getting about 2.75 cylinders. Cut back the old hard lead and attached plug and ah, hot hot! Tested plug cap and we’re getting 14.5k ohms resistance. I have no doubt I will have to give the coils the Ash treatment and fit new plug caps. Despite that it ran ok on 2.75.🤭 O’ and I hate the handlebars. 🤮

2.75 cylinders luxury Johnny -  I ran my 400 on 2 cylinders for quite a few miles before I put my leads on in the right order.
