is 70 miles a day too much ?

@Lumpy, aren't you the lucky one, maybe you should give the bike a treat one day and consider changing it!  :rolleyes
It was totally relevant to starting, especially in very cold weather!

change it? It gets changed regularly. Dinosaur oil acts in the same manner as synthetic, which is at the end of the day is dinosaur oil, if it is the same grade. So the question stands. What difference does the oil, you refer to, make to starting? I assume most of us are using the correct grade and synthetic is just a waste of time on the Fazer and isn't recommended although it rarely does harm. Use 20/50 and you may get a minor difference in the really cold weather but even that won't make that much difference to start up. Use EP90 and it might though :lol

A case of aspirations beyond capabilities here methinks  :rolleyes

On another matter related in here, letting the bike tickover increses engine wear considerably and is no good for the engine at all. Look it up if you don't believe it  :z
