Chainsaw oil. It's quite close to Scottoil,but much cheaper.

It's a bit of a run that. 
Just checked 79 miles, piece of cake.

On forums everyone changes to a more heavy duty O ring type,

They're getting me a 420 o ring from somewhere and keeping same sprockets. Only 600 miles done. Though they do seem harder to find than 428, I think.

As I put on that thread, 428 is good if you're getting a big bore kit and worth doing whenever you need a whole kit anyway. Until then, 420 is fine too as 9bhp isn't exactly going to snap it on the next power wheelie...Dodgy69 wrote: Fri Feb 27, 2026 7:52 am They're getting me a 420 o ring from somewhere and keeping same sprockets.

I'll be leaving as it is. It's plenty fast enough for the poxy roads it's mainly used on.

In this life you get a choice: an 890cc Grom, or longevity.Skub wrote: Sun Mar 15, 2026 10:53 amLooks very hurty.Jody wrote: Sun Mar 15, 2026 6:22 am https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1FYRjU1SNx/

Even when my Grom briefly had a 180cc kit it would power wheelie in 2nd, that thing will be an absolute animal.

Today the mighty monkey had a dress rehearsal for luggage carrying capabilities and is good to go.
Nice weather pending so we're gonna have a couple of days in Wales, taking in some fine roads and scenery. It's a bit of a guess how far I can get in a day, so not sure what time I'll get to accommodation.
Safe parking is the biggest concern, followed closely by food and beer availability. Wednesday and Thursday nights can be quiet and not every pub does food. Fingers crossed I get fed and watered and bike is still there in the morning.

Can you take a strap and carry it up to the room like a large bag?Dodgy69 wrote: Mon Mar 16, 2026 6:53 pm Today the mighty monkey had a dress rehearsal for luggage carrying capabilities and is good to go.

Given the relative sizes of the engine and tank He'd need to tow a fuel bowser behind that one to do his Wales trip.
Nice job though.

Shit day in Shropshire today, just waiting for an earthquake and then we've had the lot i reckon. 
Anyway, the monkey needs a bigger rack coz the proper one is too narrow for roll bags etc, ok for little day bag but no good when away for the night.
Found a top off a storage container, that'll do, bit of pissing about getting holes in the right place, making sure it doesnt rub the seat. Found a piece of plastic that'll work as a big washer and job done.
It's off again now but it's ready for next time. No laughing at the back please.

A couple of bricks strapped to the rack and it'll be a stunt munky.

Is that plastic going to be strong and stiff enough to support a rollbag?? I'm assuming the tie-downs will actually be going around something metal, and this is merely a means to stop the rollbag hanging off either side... well, somewhat.Dodgy69 wrote: Wed Mar 25, 2026 3:39 pm Shit day in Shropshire today, just waiting for an earthquake and then we've had the lot i reckon.
