Re: Fuel Tank capacity and range...

Less than 1 mile from the fuel station, the fuel range was zero, the bike didn't stop and put 25.5 litres in a 25 litre tank.

The premium is £36.18 per month for a warranty inc. roadside assistance with an excess of £100.

Will probably pay this for 7 months until 31st October 2026.

Re: Insurance time again plus a speed awareness course?

Years ago, I had a SAC, I didn't tell the insurance company.

The question they ask is, "have you had any motoring convictions or have any pending".

IMO, you have not been convicted of anything so don't tell the insurer.

Re: Reversing direction of rear strut preload adjuster

From what I can see, the rear strut & preload adjuster are a sealed unit.

If with the seat(s) removed the adjuster is accessible, what would be the reason for turning it around.
