    What engine oil are you using?

    Time for a service and this time I will do it myself as the price is too steep at the shop. Wondering what oil people are using, feel this Yamalube semi synth is going bad a bit fast (feel it when shifting).

    Bye-Bye MT07

    Congrats to the Bandit, I had a 1200S for 6 years and loved it, not as agile as the MT-07 in the city but steadier and more comfortable at speed on the open road.

    Fuel...........

    If it was fuel related knocking you would get it in high revs. The difference is that a higher octane fuel gives a shorter and more distnict explosion and thereby allows higher rews before knocking. Unless you need higher octane don't use it as it contains less energy, the MT-07 runs fine on 95.

    Top Box & Rack Recommendations?

    Got it on but I ran into various problems during the way there. First the tidytail I have was a little bit wide at the top and that made it hard to get the four screws aligned with the tread in the frame. I ended up ruining the tread in one of the holes, drilled trough it and used double...

    Thank's for all the input on racks. It made me decide on the sw motech rack with a 40l Givi box and the monokey adapter, planning to mount it tonight.
