    Is this normal wear?

    Well, to be fair, I do tend to power out of corners, with gusto at times, just feels great blasting out of a bend & the bike standing back upright during it & rocketing off down the road to the next corner.

    Thx guys, yes could definitely be the road surface. Most of the roads in NZ are Tar Seal, (sharp / coarse chip) not bitumen or concrete, well, not where I live & ride anyway. I'm going to firm up the rear a bit & see how that goes for rider feel & eventually see any difference in wear. I...

    At wit's end Bike won't fire

    Moreys Upper Cylinder Lubricant cleans & lubricates, it goes in the fuel, I've been using it for 30+ years I guess, everything with a petrol motor get it in the fuel. 30ml to 20l fuel, it's a 650:1 ratio.

    Awesome! The bike is looking remarkably clean for the trip it's doing, are you cleaning it at night? or is it just not dusty on those roads?

    Interesting fuel octain discrepancy I found.

    In NZ, our premium is called 95 octane, I've always used this in the Rocket, n it has been known to go quite goodly at times, times when plod isn't around. . .
