Arrow's pump #81 cable rigged and bled after filling the oil tank with Blue Marble. Frank B came over and once again we got after it. We had to put my factory Yamaha 29L oil pump cable in the custom cable splitter and add some washers under the barrel where it goes into the clutch cover to get the throw right and the cables rigged correctly.

I literally ride them all regular. however, either the cb1100 or the dr650 or the ct125 gets a lot of regular commuter/errand use.

Seems like we have a similar fleet.

A year between post, it always seem to resurrect itself. Let sleeping dogs lie.

I have few others in the stable, but if I need to run errands, I'll always jump on the scooter!

Been using Motul 710 2T mostly.  Injector or premix.

Transoil Expert for the gearbox. It did improve the shifting of my Derbi.

Cost of the oil really isn't a factor for me.
