well thats the oil changed and new filter in place, i really think ive got my work cut out with this bike, the old oil was like TREACLE, filter was the oldest filter ive ever seen too.

I removed the air filter and holy crap, what a mess, it has black gunk and dirt trapped in it with holes in it, this is gonna push the limits i reckon
