Hi All. Just a question for you. When I last rode the bike in October the oil level was fine as I understood. ie low on the sight glass when cold and having stood for a while and half way up the glass immediatly after shutting off after a short ride or well warmed up. However. I did the brown...

My V4 has an oil leak! I noticed this morning 3 drops of oil under the bottom fairing! With only 3500 miles in not happy. Going to the dealer tonight after work. Anybody else had a leak of any kinds?

Hi All, Over the winter I want to go through the bike changing and refreshing fluids as I've no idea the last time they were done. Oil and coolant is easy to find info on, But what weight and quantity of fork oil have people had the best results with? Your input will be much appriciated. Jeff

Went to pick up bike a 2002 rsv with 30000 on the clock fitted with akra can I knew the speedo didn't work but when I got there on idle the oil light stayed on but as soon as the throttle moves it went out is this a common thing or is there a bigger problem ?
