Quote:Cheers for that VNA, just ordered 2 from EBAY 1 for the eldest lad as well as mine. Struggled for years making modelling clay cups to oil cables right faff . What oil have you found the best to use with it.Steve, I use Tri-Flow, which is like WD40 with added Teflon. I use it cos I have a tin in the garage. It’s probably not the correct stuff to use though.

A lot of modern bikes have hydraulic operated clutches. The R1250R I tried had one. I found it quite tricky, it’s so light, to me it was like there was no feel. But I guess, if I ever manage to get my hands on one (hopefully march next year) I’ll soon get used to it.
