Very smart, nice one , what mileage has it done ?
Watch that oil level chap, did studders and sidey show you the best way to check it ?

Showed Chris how to check the level & top up oil when he took it for a test ride.
Mind you, this one hardly uses a drop ......especially now the sump gasket leak sorted ......
Agree with the fork oil change though ........but for a slightly thicker grade, as all TDM's have soft front suspension
