Hi Folks, many thanks for all your comments so far. I've had to put off my big trip until the new year while waiting for a dental appointment (human maintenance is so much more frustrating than motorcycle maintenance).
So, another quick question; the air filter appears to be new and has been heavily oiled. I tried running the bike with the air filter removed and there was a slight but noticable difference in performance. How much oil should there be on the filter? How do I remove any excess? Assuming the attachment works, there should be a picture of the spark plug, it looks a little rich to me, what do you folks think?
Anyway, apart from a few niggles the bike seems to be doing well. I had a bit of a rattle that in a panic I thought was the cam chain, it turned out to be the screen. Got my luggage fitted now, still need to fit the scott oiler and one or two minor jobs to do.
Hopefully see some of you out on the road in the new year.
