Yamaha does not recommend bike or car oil just an oil specification letter / number, as long
as this is ok then you are good to go.
Just stay away from the friction reducing stuff, just plain old oil is the stuff.

I have the Ace2 with T Mobile for £10.50 a month with half a gig.
Tidy little phone. jellybean upgrade due soon.
My Boy has the Desire C with Tesco,
Tesco one of the few where you can cap usage so there's no overspend. (useful as he's just 11)

Just done the first commute on Dunlop Roadsmart 2's
One of the first tyres I feel instantly at ease with. I got the usual change from
worn and squared off to round but nothing weird.
Even did the first 12 miles to work in the rain and no worries.
So far so good.

I had the same issue. Became harder and harder to raise, (Fnar Fnar ) until two of us couldn't do it.
Got one from Ben on here and it pops up easy as owt.
They are £168 'ish new
Sorry that didn't answer your question did it.
Might want to keep an eye out for a used one.

I've gone for Roadsmart 2's, being fitted Saturday.
I'll be doing the rear linkage bearing at the same time so should feel great after.

I've had Mez 6's which were ok,
Pilot Road 2's they were good but had 4 punctures so not sure of mileage
as I kept replacing 'em.
Just finished Storm 2's 10K miles and square rear and front on the markers
I think they're as good as each other in the dry, it's all about wet riding for me.

Cannot do an exhaustive list so these are just what I'm looking at.
Apologies to the Bridgestone fans out there :-)

Just to add, sometimes its unavoidable for genuine parts etc.

Only ever had good service from the parts guys.
Wouldn't give my dealer a squirt of piss never mind money.

Did more for my circumstances than anyone has since.
And I'm from a mining town and was made redundant off the back of the strike.

loads of rags over the frame,
It only goes in and out from the right.
Take front sprocket off to avoid catching.
Be strong and use the force, or a trolley jack.

I W-w-w-washed it. Yes finally washed it.
It looks kinda different without the mud and salt.
Still left with grease and cack on wheels behind swing arm and nooks and grannies. Sidestand is plastered in shite. ( I said washed it not cleaned it)
What do you shiney bike owners use to get the real sticky crap off. I've emptied half a bottle of Muc-off today and barely started.
Also paintwork on rear plastice and leading edge of front mudguard look like they are washed out to a very pale colour. will it T-cut back or is it focced.
I'll try and put a piccie up later.

I don't believe it's even possible to give 100% concentration to anything for long.
I don't use a phone or have tunes on the bike as I can't be arsed. I do however sing,
loudly and badly, I also solve many work issues while tootling along and mail them when I get home.
I look at the scenery, sky, weather, nice cars, price of petrol and countless other shite.

Admire doing this with the engine in the frame.

and follow the book.

Never had an issue with various helmets.
Fogging is a proper pain if not prepared.
I remember being a little nauseas at first as I could see below them and the ground
seemed to move at different rates to everything else. Also used to slam my foot down as
ground seemed further away.
