I got a 1 litre petrol mixing bottle from Screwfix (FOC from a friend) which means I have enough space under the seat for a spare tube.
Whilst the restrictions are on its worth carrying a tube and tyre levers rather than relying on the AA.
There's not many times I find I need more power in Kent, the traffic is congested on most roads all the time. Happy days.

Godspeed

Recently set up a new bag system with a 3 litre fuel can. Should take the range to 200 miles which is enough for a good days riding

Hi beware of the fuel cans that you can not fill at a petrol station ,the nozle is too big for the hole in the can .but also this may help not Innova based but all usefull .

Thank you, that all read as wise words and I'll bare all of that in mind.

Does anyone use a engine flush before changing the oil? or just get it hot and drain it?

Yes some do use engine flush ,get it all out ,kick the engine over a few times with the ignition off :roll: to get the last drops out then refill with the best oil you can afford .Do not start an oil debate. :twisted: ..

heh heh yeah I know where you're coming from with that! I'm also on a motoring forum (pistonheads) and it always kicks off regarding oil :lol:

I'll stick to that link regarding the C90 as my bible. 8-)
