Swedish ice racing tyres and you'll be good to go........150+ spikes in each
Oh and I fitted a new battery and reg/rec - I'll have to check the old one. I've ordered another Stator/alternator cover off e-Bay too, in case mine is shagged. Always good to have a spare anyway, for $49 - cheap insurance.
The saga continues............

I have taken the forks out today to change the fork oil.
The manual says 14.1 fl oz so i measured that with water & marked it on the container that i have drained the forks into,
but there is more than that come out possibly 18 fl oz (iv not measured the old oil yet iv left it dripping over night).
I will check the springs also, i would change these now but short on pennies so see what they are like.
The bike handled OK just didnt like pot holes/bumps very much. Iv only had the bike a year its on 51k & not sure if the fork oil has ever been done.
Back in the garage tomorow.

ALL DONE
When i read the manual PROPERLY it is 14.7 fl oz per leg.
So after the oil drained overnight i took the springs out & measured them 446mm so all OK for now.
I measured out & refilled with AFT.
When i had done this i measured how much old oil had come out it was only 23 fl oz so 5 fl oz short, should feel a bit better on the bumps now.
It has been good to work on my bike it feels like summer is just round the corner.
