Geographically we are close to Barrow in Furness, but on the roads it's about 65 miles. I will definitely meet up with them at some point because Martin Crooks (who owns Crooks Suzuki in Barrow) is a member of that group and friend of mine. We'll probably have a group ride to somewhere like Kendal and meet them there.

I've got the X7 running quite well, so might take that. Just got to adjust the oil pump a bit and maybe change to semi-synth two-stroke oil. I don't think the fully synth is letting the rings bed in properly.

I haven't even started the X5 yet, so god knows how long that's going to take.

I've always followed the rule that whatever oil was used when the bike was built is best for it, heard a lot of stories about people putting fully synthetic oil in a 1990's four stroke bike and suffering bad clutch slip, have always used Rock oil power plus 2 semi synthetic two stroke oil in my Kawasaki Kr-1, it's still going strong after 34 years

I think when my X7 was made (1979) they would be only expecting you to use mineral oil. That's why I think I am going to reduce the amount of pump output and change to semi-synth.
