Top box?

Ignition switch faulty
A while since I last posted, the bike continues to make me smile.

No second chances
90% of the time my bike fires and runs great after only one or two rotations, however, if the motor dies before its warm you're in for major cranking, starting with a misfire and generally running...

What oil?
I finally put on my big boy pants and changed the oil on my bike. The old oil was very dirty but both strainers were clear and there was only the faintest trace of metal on the magnetic plug, so...

Little engines - mine too
My bike barely runs below 5500. My ride to work is relatively downhill but even so if I am rumbling along in 6th gear at around 60km/h and about 4000 revs I have to chage down at least two gears...

Thanks
Although it is difficult to figure out I'm guessing more torque in a wider spread at lower revs and perhaps a little more horsepower.
Longer gearing looks possible but with First gear being so...

Me too
When I bought my bike the expansion tank needed a top up, just over 2000 km later it was the same, a top up of about 1/2 a cup of coolant.

Now that I think of it..
I had a Merc A160 with a repeated mirror detachment. Luckily the wire to the heating element never let go so I'd just clip it back into place each time.

Mirror down!
On the way home yesterday we sailed over a large bump in the road and the right hand mirror fell off.
