Posted January 19, 200520 yr The TT-R's finally done! Turns out the persistent oil weep was coming from the redundant decompressor bolt on the top of the casing. No sweat though....cos for them to find it, I ended up with all the top gaskets and oil seals replaced. And I had them to adjust the valves while they were at it. The new air filter is in and it's running a hell of a lot better now, as the old one was disintegrating and split. It's got a new MOT, new NGK, the handguards are on, it's got Silkolene inside, and now it's running like a little watch. Let's Rock!

January 20, 200520 yr nice one pete get that bloody silkolene out of it though . that's for wooftas. castrol is the oil of choice for the hardened biker
January 20, 200520 yr Author Castrol was the oil of choice....but times change Alan! Silkolene is the only one for me. Put some in on the next oil change, and your bike will feel smoother for it. Very good for notchy boxes like on Yams and Hondas too.
January 20, 200520 yr Moderator I was thinkin' of trying some Silkolene in the XT when I get it this weekend....especially since holds only a couple of Quarts.
January 20, 200520 yr Author When I got my XT it had Castrol GPS in it. 1000 miles later and Silkolene went in. What a difference.
January 23, 200520 yr Admin To be honest ive always changed my oil before the book intervals, and always using branded oils and have never been able to tell the differnce on my bike
