What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?

All be it a bit chilly today the roads were bone dry and the salt they laid down flung to the kerbsides I decided to take Arnie for a 25 mile run to keep him fit and able rather than mothball him.

Oil level was down to halfway on the dipstick and keen to see if any more crunchies we present after my failed tappet adjuster episode I drained the sump and checked both sump plug magnets. Hoorah nothing but oil and a tiny bit of sludge so hopefully I’ve seen the back of that issue and the engine hasn’t any nasty surprises for me down the road.

Went as good as ever and came back spotless, mission accomplished

Wipe it down well. That salt dust on the side will be on there and can have a delayed effect in the nooks and crannies.

I think the brine that many towns are using now is even more destructive . I won’t ride till spring and then not until we’ve had a good soaking rain.
