smilinjack 0 Posted August 24, 2013 Changed the oil and filter on the Kwak today, cleaned & lubed the chain, so as long as we get wifey's work cleared we look good for the Channel tunnel about this time next week. Gonna have a bit of a run out tomorrow to be sure all seems in order, up to work to run the machine for a bit, then we should be good to go. Third time lucky l hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smilinjack 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Just back from a bit of a spin round the Peak District. Pretty much did a shortened breakfast route that I did with Dan Den & Dave (and Mel) I had to put a different oil in to my usual Castrol so just wanted to be sure there's no clutch slip or any other little gremlins-I used Silkolene and TBH at £10 a jug less than Castrol I'm well chuffed. Gear shifting is good, engine sounds great. Not sure if that's these different earplugs I've bought though Wife's gear all feels nice, she's happy with it, and I still can't believe I took nine years to fit bar risers. It feels so much nicer to ride it's ridiculous. All we need to do now is clear our work but I see no reason not to be in the tunnel Sunday morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dick65 0 Posted August 26, 2013 I use silkolene alan and it certainly helps shifting gears on a yam recently started using K&N oil filters too and im impressed by the performance - anyway looks like its all coming together for you m8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
