, Well I must say thanks to the guy,, a cant remember where I read it...who said when doin the oil an filter change.. mind put a towel over the front wheel, as the oil spews out......well it did fur me, an am glad a had that towel there let me tell you...

so thats me got a new filter an new oil in there at 46.000 miles...so i take it it`l run sweet fur another 3k miles, then al change it again...whit a bummer it was taking that large Tourtech bash plate off then refitting it.. the hard bit was putting it back on......BUT... a couple o hours an it was all done...oiled the chain... also tightened it a wee bit.. so am al ready fur whitever.......

I felt a little play in the rear bearings... would i need to change both sides... I take it there is a bearing on both sides o the rear wheel. ???

also whats the standard Front Sprocket size... i have a 15 fitted.. I have a new 14.. but a think al leave it off , as the front wheel can pick itself up if it wants....another thing guys.. i took ma oil out the bike,, an a measured it, it was 3.1 ltrs maybe 3.1.5 but i only put 2.9 in is that or will that be ok,,, as i thought the engine only took 2.9 inc the filter... ??? can anyone add to this please...... john
