Since I have owned the bike the oil has been changed along with the oil filter every 4000 miles, not sure about any previous history. The only thing I have noticed is a very slight rattle from the clutch basket and pulling in the clutch lever quietens it down (it has done this ever since I purchased the bike 3 years ago) I mentioned it to my mechanics and they said it was fairly normal and nothing to be concerned about at all, one of the mechanics rides a boxeye and he said that he replaced the whole clutch trying to stop his from rattling to no avail, his rattles worse than mine.
I was pleasantly surprised myself when I saw the inside. All the clutches rumble some bit and it is worse if carbs are out of synch. I have heard a few rattle slightly but never see it to be a problem.

[/color]Now where did I put that tube of Autosol lets get them rear alloy peg hangers polished
I'm puzzling over something to do with this at the moment. All my previous Fazers, I've polished the rear peg hangers with Autosol, and they seemed to dull down very quickly again. But the current bike, I've not touched with the stuff, and the peg hangers have remained shiny and clean with just hosing off and a quick wipe with a rag. So I'm wondering if the peg hangers are lacquered in their original form, and over-zealous polishing takes that lacquer off, and maybe I just now happen to have a bike where the previous owner hasn't touched the hangers with anything more than water or a mild detergent, leaving the finish intact.

Strange my alloy work dulls over a few weeks and needs polishing again, I don't mind doing it but would be better if I did not have to.
The old Autosol brings it up well. I remember years ago it was called Solvo Autosol, and the engine cases of my BSA 650cc Super Rocket A10 used shine like chrome, my nails were always black from the mixture of alloy and Autosol, used to get most of it off fumbling with the G\F's bra strap, much to her annoyance, the discoloured bra strap not my fumbling. :lol

The footrests hangers on my 1000 are definitely lacquered, never noticed it on the 600 hangers
