2002 Fox eye oil change.

[darrsi]

This is interesting to see what things on a bike warrant quality and which dont.


Being the shit stirrer that i am then..... :lurk


So shouldnt every part of a bike warrant quality & replacement & industry standard?, hmmmmmmm. For example many people who advocate regular oil replacement which is relatively expensive but do not advocate regular sump plug and washer replacement which is relatively inexpensive......yet they will probably never know whether all that oil changing has done them any good & have probably sold the bike on or dont have the means to inspect the internals of the engine...ps Darrsi im not saying these "people" ar you by the way....just peoples :b ...i dont know how often you change your oil.




It's kind of like how my neighbour will spend £100 no problem on a pair of jeans but he has those shit pictures from Dunelm on his walls whereas i like to have a bit of quality stuff in my house & i skrimp on clothes & look like a hobo :lol .....horses for courses, each to their own.

For the record my oil is changed between 4000-5000 miles, still using the same old washer.


If the oils is at the correct level, changed within the recommended mileage, which is 6000 miles, and the fine threaded long bolt is nipped up sensibly (not much room for a normal torque wrench), then with general road riding i challenge anyone to make their sump leak with an old, used several times again washer!!!


Or, i can save you the wait and tell you, it ain't gonna happen, as i've tried and tested it myself.   


NOTE: Paulfzs is barred from this challenge, he could make it happen. :lol
