    coolant ..use long life red , oils use good semi synthetic bike oil. is different to car oil if you are running a wet clutch.

    Make sure any oil you use has the 'JASO' standard on it. This means it can be used with wet clutches.

    What ever the manual states for the oil, I use Nulon coolant, you can buy premix or concentrate, your choice. Check your tyre pressures, very important. Change the oil filter so everything stays clean within. Make certain your brake fluids are correct, and last give your chain a touch up and your ready to go.:thumb_ups:

    for aluminium you use RED longlife coolant. GREEN coolant for copper radiator and cast iron block.

    Chain is WELL oiled now... But have recently developed a slight squeek in the front end hopeing its something simple... also looking at doing pads and rotors within the next 2 weeks. Any good places to source brake parts other then pyramid? heard mixed reviews on them over the weekend.

    HAHAHAHAHA, NO!! its currently 2 tone faded red(pink) and red. Looking at few options for paint, Highgloss black with tinted clear coats, with a red underside (red belly black style ;) ) or just the black on its own. With white wheels.

    So does any one happen to know the amount of power the charging system has spare? As in how many amp is the charging system minus bike running with high beam on? Looking at a few electrical add ons but don't wanna strain the system.

    From my understanding there is not much left over, would double check whatever you intend installing.
