Yep, have used Amsoil on previous bikes, was happy with it at the price. I think car (and bike) manufacturers want to keep comparative ownership costs down, hence the extended service intervals. I know technology has improved, but anything doing what oil does is gonna get dirty, and lose viscocity. ...

I know I could be burnt at the stake for posting this question, but which oil do you recommend, Kev and others?
I think I'll stick to the oil changes, your option sounds a bit radical and expensive, Kev..

Airhead, re your (long ago) comment about K series engines getting 500 000 km's, would that IYO apply also to the newer K series? I have just purchased a 1300 GT with 34 K on it.. would love to think it could be good for another 466 000! And I'll continue my exchanging fluids fetish.. Synthetic ever...

Thanks, Jono,

That's the difficulty though, I've traded the bike.. maybe the purchaser may want to buy them..!

Cheers,

Jeff

Jono and Geolero,

This link no longer works - do you have the info saved in any way?

Does this mean I could sell my panniers and top box (newish, R1200R) and the buyer could re key without too much fuss?

Cheers,

Jeff
