    Spotted a small damp patch under my bike having just got back after a spin, seen this upon closer inspection, chain and sprockets are 10 days old.

    Clean it off and see where it's coming from.
    Looks too old to be oil leak if you just did an oil change just lately.
    It's not oil that was built up around the old front sprocket?
    Can't make it it out properly from pic.

    My money's on the socket oil seal and or the clutch oil seal. Very close together that doing them at the same time makes sense

    C&S needing doing on the etv might get out the wallet. I'm like a kid who can't wait to use the new whale riviter:)

    I've emailed them to see what sprockets they are.
    Also that kit has two teeth more than standard on the rear sprocket.
    That's what I want but I also want to come down a tooth on the front.

    Contrary to belief, I find that to wear front tyres quicker.
    Ya burn a bit of rubber landing :D

    Not to mention eating the back tyre off.
    A lot more expense on tyres overall doing that crack.

    The Tuono doesn't need help that way anyway, you can get them up in third with the clutch or second without.

    No, the reason is top speed is a waste as it being a naked it's a struggle to hang on over a certain speed so I may as well reap the benefits down lower.

    A lot of black ice around this morning in Dublin 15.

    Couldn't get the bike out of the estate. Will have to give it an hour or two.

    Be careful out there, people.

    I slipped taking the bins out. Will be getting the train to work. Not risking dropping my bike which doesnt have a mark on it

    Aye, same as that.

    Opened the back gate in full gear to take the bike out and just had a walk out to see.

    Nearly went on me arse!

    A set of crash protectors were delivered yesterday, fitting them over the weekend. Would be sick if I dropped the bike with them sitting there :)

    There's a Wurth retail shop in the Kinsale Road Ind Est.
    Right next to roundabout, entrance west side of Kinsale Road.

    Also interested in this. Something cheaper than Whale brand - and ideally portable.
