Excellent how to thread...... Top stuff.

Thats interesting, the bad design of the oil pan has always been a concern of mine. If they've just changed the location of the drain plug, it should easily be able to be retrofitted to earlier models. Would be even better if they issued a recall for it..... but i wont hold my breath on that.

I wasn't aware they had redesigned the oil pan, do you have a link for some more info on this ?

Yes, I noticed the foam spacer and thought at the time, I could get a larger battery in there if I wanted. Whenever I have to replace a battery I always see if I can get a larger ah in the space. Recently had to replace the standard 8ah battery on my GSX and managed to fit a 10ah in there.

Damn, another Matt grey in somerset, I thought I was the only one !! welcome to the group, but id advise cutting up the credit card cos theres to many temptations in here Yup.... forums will do that. Although I'm gonna try not to go mental farkling with this bike like I've done with some bikes in the past.But as the old saying goes.... if its got tits or tyres, it costs ya.

Recently ordered these crash bungs from Ebay..... took about a week to get to me from the Lithuanian seller. Really nice quality for the very cheap price of £33.80 delivered. A fraction of the cost of R&G bungs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281650347228?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Matt grey..... was gonna buy the red, but when I saw the bronze wheels on the grey, that did it.
