I paid $26 the other week for one also... Seemed a bit high.

[Psylentzer]

Went and got a few things done before winter

- Brake Check

- Anti-Freeze Check

- Battery Check

- Wheel Alignment

- Tyre Rotation and Balancing.

All for just $69 - Not bad. Only thing I need to do now is to look at getting a new battery before winter.

Better yet, print out the auction and get them to match the price excluding shipping. I I\'d this the last time I bought one.

Wouldnt put 15w 40 in mine, and I\'m far from an Oil snob.

Out of interest what do you run?

I personally run the 10w60 edge stuff, figured i\'d use something thicker since km\'s are up there

[Johnnynz]

I\'m not an oil expert, 10W-40 - 5W-40 or better and ensure its full and changed often.

So many opinions out there on oil. talk to your Engine builder if you have a rebuild or just use whats in the Manual.

[LAtitudeNZ]

dish and poke?

[Roo]

Trialled those wanky allen head bolts with the coloured countersunk washers.

Deciding if i should get more.

opinions?
