Thanks for that Cynic - I have adjusted the levers as suggested - has helped a bit. I do not have the original weights as the bike came with the Motrax. I am not even 100% sure they are the original bars as the previous owner has changed a fair bit, indicators, mirrors, etc. Bars may be new too - am pretty sure they are 22mm though, but can't seem to find any good end weights yet.

Does anyone know where I can get some bar end weights that are heavy stainless steel? All the ones I can find online seem to be aluminium and rubber mounted, which seems to defeat the purpose. I have a 1998 XJ600N and the weights have been replaced with Motrax DHB crash bobbins and I am getting a lot of right hand vibration, causing pins and needles. The only heavyweight ones I have found only seem to fit certain of the faster Yamahas. Thanks

Ok - thanks for that. I thought the W rating was the weight and the 30/40 the temperature guide (nohing on the container about temp rating) edit: just done some web search and it's the difference between cold and operating temperature viscosity - will the 30 be sufficiently thick at operating temperature? Will get it drained though and new filters in

I've recently purchased a Yamaha XJ600N (1998) model and need to top the engine oil up. After advice at halfords I have Castrol Power1 GPS 4t 10W-30. Is this the correct oil for summer riding I am just a little unsure as the oil is red, and the oil currently in the sight glass is golden in colour. IIs it ok to mix these, and do I need 20W40 as temperature is higher at the moment? Thanks
