Only 4 months, almost 20,000 on the clock now, had a fair bit of use but it's perfect. First bike, so picked one up on the basis of the old CG engine being bulletproof mainly, can cope with my terrible riding. Mr. Green

Cheers, will have a look now. Thumbs Up

Gonna change the oil Tuesday funnily enough, seems it needs a change quite often.

Out of interest, do you put in the full 0.9l stated in the manual or knock it down a touch?

Not really, it's only 10KG heavier than my old 125, easy peasy, just have to be careful of taking the door frame out with the foot pegs Thumbs Up

yeah mate, when doing a oil change i just put 1l in! when doing a oil change once most of the oil drained out on its own I take it off its stand it tip a little more over and it drains more oil that way!

i change my oil every 6 months and keep it topped up monthly! some people say its to much but i dont care. keeps fresh oil in my bike and it s only £10 for 1L of oil anyway!

iv just brought a nice new pipe for my XR too


https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250627819214&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_945wt_1165

read some good reviews on it so i thought why not! its only £130 posted and It needed replacing anyway

Can't fault it, could do with a new one myself.

Yeah I plan on doing the same, from what I've read/been told it seems like it's best to change the oil every 1000 or so miles to keep thing running perfectly on CG/XR engines, and for a tenner here and there it seems silly not to as you say.

yeah i tend to do my every 1200/1500 miles! With shell's oil range. but I met someone who owned a '80 CG with 96,000 on the clock and he said he uses cheap oil in his and never had a problem!

I'm not allowed to keep my bike indoors Sad which is why I don't have a DR-Z400SM yet. Not keeping anything attractive to thieves outdoors.

when I was a student, my friend Samantha would park her motorbike in our house when visiting (for Rock night in Sheffield). We'd put some bricks against the front step, she's ride in through the front door, rode through the lounge, and parked up in the kitchen.

A few hours later we'd all be very drunk, revving her 400exup and grinning at what the neighbours might think.
