Oddjob:
Don’t forget to change the engine oil and filter Johnny. Any contamination in the old oil can eat away at the shell bearings which can cause problems later in its life. A short run after changing the oil will get it around the engine and help to avoid this problem. I’ve had to sorn my bike as my present health means I can’t ride till at least next March. I plan to take it for an MOT on April 1st and tax it the same day so I’m ready for the summer. All things being well I may finally get some riding done next year.

Good call on the oil and filter change Ken, haven’t done the oil change on these this time, did them before last lay up and they have only done 400 miles between them. Hopefully steady build up of strength over the winter Ken and you will be fighting fit comes spring.

I've had enough of diesel in my tank to last a lifetime  ::) , I'd rather put a tiger in it.  ;D I can't lay my bike up indoors because I don't have a garage, so some short rides if only around the compound most days of the week and staying out of the wet are the only ways forward for me. But lots of ACF-50 will be used etc.

DomP:
I seem to be draining out largely unused oil the last few years, I just cant find the time to use my bikes.  I wonder what my oil change routine should be on so few miles.
