stop tempting fate and do that oil change! lube everything! if the cables have been neglected enough to so far all fail, how do you think the engine is looking?

No speedo? Sweet clock up the k's without them ticking over on the dial! Just go the flow of the traffic like the roadcode says haha safety in numbers!

nah, its just a cable loose. I knew it was that last night but couldn't see it, but your right I really do need to change that oil

I can help you with that this week if you're not busy with uni. Where on the shore are you?

**Real_Wolf** · 17th May 2009, 16:35

beach haven, just really need tools and a pointing in the right direction.

Ignore it at your peril. Go and buy the oil and filter already.

Aye.

'Tis one fluid you do not want to malfunction or run out!

Fuel on the other hand...

**PirateJafa** · 17th May 2009, 21:13

Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, petrol and alcohol.

Fundamental to [student?] biking.

**Ixion** · 17th May 2009, 21:16

*PROPER* bikes have no coolant (other than that which a benovolent Almighty provides in abundance) ; nor brake fluid.And engine oil and fuel are the same thing. Which leave sonly alcohol as the indispensable necessity for all bikers, noit just students.

Lol even after ten people have told you that those bikes just blow up?!

**PirateJafa** · 18th May 2009, 12:59

Plus the seller seems reluctant to show any pictures of the LH side of the bike.

**Slyer** · 18th May 2009, 13:25

Stay away from the Yamahas I think.

You can have a proper go on the GPX whenever you want, you can use it as a comparison.

yeah im weary of the fzrs too, theres many on trade me but ive only ever come across like three of them on the road... which just makes me suspicious and think if there are so many out there, why arent people riding them? but if you are gona get one i think the 3ln is much better looking than the other models
