Well the day started early, 6:09am checked the oil in the FZ1 (2001 - 162,000kms) unscrewed the fill plug, topped up the oil, put the oil container away and then got dressed my bike gear and headed off to work.
55kms - 45 minutes later I got to work and noticed that the oil fill plug was missing!!!!AND there was an excess amount of oil on the right leg of my over trousers, my right boot is now more waterproof and I panicked.
A quick check of the oil level and I was safe,there was still lots of oil left INSIDE the motor and there was oil all over the bike. Put the bike on the full stand to allow the excess to . . . . . . .
What a start to the day, things improved slowly at work, not great but there was the weekend to look forward to. I was heading to Tauranga for a bike ride to see my niece as we are unable to attend her 21st party, so the weekend was going to be great riding time.
Headed home at 5:30, filled up with petrol to get an early start, tootled home pressed the garage door opener and this was blocking my entry to put the 2001 Yamaha FZ1 I was riding into the garage.
