Hello.
I was just wondering if anyone on here uses their bike for long distance travelling? I was thinking of doing a 200 mile trip, but not too sure if doing it on the Vigor will be the best idea.....It does tend to use a bit more oil if its cruising at motorway speeds... I was rebuilding my other bike (Honda CB500) to do distance riding, but its proving to be more problematic than anything..... Hope to hear some details... |

Re: FX650 Travelling
Thought I should reply as I started the topic :P
Thanks for the replies (sorry mine is late :S I read the replies but forgot to reply) I will take a tub of oil with me on a long distance journey so I can top it up now and again (when I stop for food or drink :P) 200 miles trip on the seat when I near the end of the journey though :P and thinking why did I do this Thanks for the responses. |

Re: FX650 Travelling
Haha, I think the fuel would run out first :P
Its not too bad on oil....it seems better with heaver oil... 10w40 is ok in winter, but in summer it seems to smoke a lot :S I tried a bit of 15w40 I had and it seemed better... Each bike is different though it would seem... I must sort out the oil pump return valve....I can only check the oil once the bike is nice and warm :P I just normally check it when I end a ride, and put some more oil in next time I ride.... |
