Change Your Oil - Page 12

Slagugglan · 10-11-2011, 12:46 PM

I changed my oil some days ago: went like a charm!
I put in some 5W40 Auchan brand full synth diesel oil: silent, starts on first crank, neat. Perfect!
I had no wussy bikestand or 2x4s... I did it like the pros: I had a book, sat on the bike and read on till the dripping stopped

P.S. It is a good idea to tilt the bike a bit now and then during the process to help all the old stuff out!

Auchan? Isn't that the home brand of Al Campo? If it is, I've never seen it on sale over here. :??:

Don't know what the hell Al Campo is

Auchan is a big french supermarket chain we have in Europe...

Sounds like it's the same chain, but over here the chain is known as "Al Campo", and their own brand is "Auchan", with a picture of a red bird on it.

Have you tried their own brand "fuel additive"? €5 or €6 for 365ml. Around 75ml to a tank of fuel every 4000km keeps the carb clean. :2tup:

I'm having trouble finding the sight glass to check the oil level. Does anyone know where it is exactly and have a picture of it? Thanks in advance!

Bottom right, toward bottom of the bike.

Round window, size of a quarter.
