Chipped paint advice?
If the markers nib is too big for your chip, dob a bit of paint on a piece of plastic then use something smaller to apply it, possible a tooth pick or a cotton bud. If you chew the end of a wooden tooth pick slightly it makes a good fine brush.

Phosphoric acid and water, that's basically what Jenolite is, also makes a good flux when soldering if you have nothing else.

Someone Robbed My Bike!!!
That's bad luck, but also good they were stopped. Unfortunately smaller bikes are easier to steal because they don't weigh as much so easier to quickly stick in a van, I would say it was just opportunist that had spotted your new bike, whenever I leave mine I always try to chain it to something, steering lock, disc lock goes on as well, and it also has an alarm and immobiliser. Make is as difficult as possible for someone to take it, and chances are they will look for an easier target.

Attempted scam

New Member RS200 owner
Yeah not popular, I had one from new many moons ago, is yours the later one with the full seat or the earlier one with a single seat and the optional pillion seat or top box? Mine was the earlier version in metallic maroon. As said RD200 engine with single carb, chrome mudguards and more rounded tank.

Too much engine oil over virago xv125
If you get around 50ml out by the filter, just put the filter back on and run the engine for a bit to refill the filter then take it out again, repeat until you have the level where it should be, then let the garage deal with the drain plug at the next service.
