Tjanks for the Feedback. Denny Yours looks great on those stands. I will look at the sites and see what to pick from there, but glad to hear there are no bad stories YET.

Maxwell# modern oils that we are using on the bikes are all made Sticky so you will never empty all of it out when you do a change, you would not want the engine to be started every time with a metal on metal situation so you have to accept that there will always be some old oil arround. On saying that I usually pore some new oil in when i still have the sump plug out, not sure if it does much just always do it, (Its maybee an age thing).

As another story for you I used to race a Mini and changed the oil after every event so it had done about 5 to 20 minutes depending on the event. I emptied it into a clean container and used it on my road cars at their next service. (Maybee it is the Scot in me, or the Yorkshire, or even the Welsh). Sorry Maxwell not sure if I have any Irish blood
