And now back to our main topic....
I installed a new set of PR4GT's on my bike yesterday, and an oil change. I used Rotella T6 and a Bosch filter. Is that a good oil to use? (haha) Getting it ready for my summer road trip next month.

Fitted new battery to bike and transponder and took for its first MOT
What is a "MOT" ?
When a bike is 3 years old it requires to have an MOT (Minstry Of Transport) Test Certificate. This is an examination to ensure the vehicle is in a safe roadworthy condition and complies with the relevant construction and use regulations applicable to that type model and year of vehicle.

Rode it.
Everybody knows the oil is fine, but I'm not a fan of Bosch filters... or Purolator filters for that matter. All made on the same Purolator lines using the same bypass valve design, which is what I don't like. I ran a Bosch DistancePlus on my last bike for a few thousand miles (with Rotella T6) but changed to the Mobil1 and Fram XG filters after a filter surgery project; http://www.tiger-explorer.com/index.php/topic,10005.0.html (if interested).
Filter thread!!!!?
For my part, I reinstalled my ECU with the Shoodaben flash and will test it tomorrow. I also admired and fondled Nicole's honkers; they are much BIGGER than stock - and there's TWO of them!. (I was tempted to say 'your', but it just felt strange).
http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Filters.html#OilFilters This info has been around for quite a while so I don't know how accurate it still is.
If Bosch are indeed made by Purolator now instead of Champion then perhaps much of the rest of it is out of date as well.
Yesterday, I performed an oil change with Rotella 15-40w and a Purlolator spin-on filter in my SPOOFAK-modified '01 C-10. Little did I realize I would add that info to this recent oil filter discussion.
Rode her to work today. No drips, no smudges, no errors!
