    Dear Vader

    The chain on my xl650 needs adjusting. What is the best way to do this so I ensure both front and back wheels are perfectly in-line. The adjusting marks are not very clear.

    Dear Biker

    A Chain What is this ''chain'' thing you speak of


    Dear Vader

    What do you think about a kickstart for my TTr250?

    Dear Biker

    I'm appalled that in this day and age there are still people like you prepared to give your bike a good kicking. You are a disgrace to the brotherhood and I've passed your details onto the police and social services.

    Re: oil consumption

    Checked mine last night. It was just below the top mark before setting off on Thursday, now its just above halfway between the upper and lower marks. No oil lights came on during the rise. Not sure how much has been used yet as I'm waiting for the guy who serviced it to let me know exactly what oil he used before I top up. Total miles done 1843.

    Any ideas gang?

    02 RD07a RWB, Powerbronze tall screen, Remus Grand Prix, TT crash bars, TT pannier frame, Zega style panniers, Alpos top box,TT bar risers, TT headlamp guard, Heated grips, mainstand, Heidenau K60s for road and light offroad, TKC80s for the dirty stuff, Scottoiler, Autocomm, TT Zumo mount, Zumo 550 and most of all A BIG GRIN !!! Oh, and a very nice RD04 HRC coloured Marathon Replica

    Re: oil consumption

    Just had a little runout and then checked the mighty RD04, and still above the minimum mark, so no need for more oil here.
    They don't make 'em like they used to.
    Have I mentioned that before?
