I wonder if we have any Chinese language experts herein.

It seems such a beautifully structured character set and much more complex than 'ours', but I wonder how easy it is to hand write in Chinese.

David, your current set up is different from the one I saw, which afair was only front facing.

What is the one you are using now?

Having just installed a couple of Fit Cam X cams in the rear view mirror housing of the car and swimbo's car, my thoughts turned to the bike, especially after Rae's easy to deal with rear-ender which might have been different if it had been a car with intent to sod off.

Phillipe gave me a set of front and rear cams which he could never get working and nor could I and if I trip over them in the garage one more time I shall scream.

Back to the bike.. aluminium surface corrosion, does it really matter? I don't think it does TBH.

Well, of course it matters. To me! I have been trying to find a 'pristine' late plate Motorsport. Even with less than 5,000 miles they have more corrosion than mine so I won't be buying either of them.

Of course, if someone comes to see your bike and has seen all the others with the rot then it is down to price and mileage.

However, early K12's seem immune from the tin rot...

Yes, the upper and lower marks on the sight tube compare to what you would have on the real dipstick as Max and Min levels.

If you are the sort who can get off the bike and hold it upright without it falling on you (like Richard, unlike me) then you can check it off the stand but it must be upright and not on the sidestand and the 30 second wait time is because it is a 'damp sump' (© Stormin Norman) setup so you have to wait for the oil to settle back in the oil tank and sump.

No, the Philip specials. Costas used the Chinese knock off ones and they seemed to work well. Or was that TPMS sensors? Wouldn't work well as coils...

I would always advertise bikes on Auto Trader and take out a protected number so you don't get spammed to death. AT will also give you a comparable idea of current value.

Don't be fazed by the wheel carrier rot, two of the 'Pristine' Motorsports on AT at the moment have more rot on the front than my 2012 Sport. Good luck with the sale.

See, there's your proof! You didn't change the bearings and you get shunted up the jacksie.

Change them bearings folks... :)

I didn't notice if they had locks the on the wheels coz I can see leaving the bike in one corner of the shed and coming back in the morning to find it in the opposite corner... :)

Way back, my R1150GS had the same MoT advisory. I rang Motorworks and they said 'is that all it is?'.

I decided to strip it and fit new bearings but it was a bugger's muddle to do and get shimmed correctly.

You have a good relationship with NOG so call and ask them about the tolerances.

I have the K1300GT but guessing this is the same tank as both the R and S and was wondering if anybody knew how much oil it would take to fill from Min to Max to give me a steer please?

Approx 0.5 litre on a K1300S from Min to Max (on the sight tube, not dipstick).

But I would trust the manual method rather than the dipstick, i.e warm the engine fully, put bike upright/on centre stand, and then look at the sight tube.

i.e warm the engine fully, put bike upright/on centre stand, TURN OFF ENGINE AND WAIT 30 SECONDS and then look at the sight tube.

The manual method is always the best and is what is recommended in the manual...which is what makes it the manual method  :)
