Hello chaps,
the bike is out of warranty,
I am going to replace the starter battery, will the bike loose the time on the clock or any mileage or settings when I disconnect the old battery ?
I can lash up an additional standby battery during the change but there is added risk if I short anything out.
As for the oil change I have some fully synthetic 5w-40 oil it says on the bike to use 10w-40,
Would 5w-40 oil be too thin ?
Thanks for your help ?
Who invented a bike without a kick start ?

R.
Thank you for that.
Regards using 5w-40 that is what I use in the car and I have about 4 litres of that.
I have some mineral oil that I use in the lawn mowers and maybe that would be a safer bet.
Also regards changing the battery I might try have a spare 12 volt battery patched across the old bike battery but it is a bit fiddly as there is not much room, not like doing that on a car.
Thank you for your reply. |
