MOT shopping list.......
 

Hi all,

Could anyone shed any light on where to get these items from and what type i need etc?

Oil filter, - Ebay?
Oil, - Halfrauds?
Cush rubbers, - Ebay/Yamaha?
Lube for standard chain - halfrauds?

Cheers

Chris

I've always put Halfords semi-synth 10W40 in mine.

You might find the filters in Halfords if you can figure out what the Champion part code is (or if by some small chance it's in their book). Otherwise Wemoto.

Wemoto do pattern cush rubbers.

Chainlube...

Personally, I tend to grease mine. Pot of multipurpose grease from Halfords, spread it on with your fingers thick enough to keep the crud off. Clean it off with paraffin occasionally and reapply. Lasts a lot longer than spray lube if you're using the bike every day, and especially if it's wet.

If I'm travelling, I tend to just use engine oil, on the grounds that carrying a litre of engine oil is more useful than a can of spray lube.

I can throw in a filter as well.................:dink:

Cheers chaps. Last but not least, how many Ltrs of oil am I lookimg at needing?

2.6ish with filter change

Filter: eBay you can get some good multi buy deals.

Oil: I normally use 10w40 from hein gericke as I bought 6 big canisters when they where on offer and only just finishing them off. After that I'm basically back to the halfords stuff again.

Cush drive rubbers: only ever bought them from yamaha once as I normally packed them out. might have a look at wemoto myself.

oil for chain: Normally used scot oil as I've always had scot oilers, but once the bottles run out I use old engine oil which I've tons of. Buy some cheap tooth brushes, wee bottle filled with oil and an old rag is all you need really

Why not try opie oils, get all my oils there, cheaper than most shops even after you pay the postage, everything from a cheap 10-40 to the expensive stuff

Exactly what i do - chain lube & engine oil (if needed) all in one!! i just a coke bottle with a little paint brush & a tiny rag strapped to it.

of course...if i did need to top the engine up....you fooked with out a hose and funnel :)
