[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 5258, member: 109"] Evening All, I've read the books (KTB/Richardson/FYO/ATY and the Riders Handbook). I'm going to change the oil and filter, adjust chains, grease everything and check valves together with anything else I can think needs doing and pack myself some essential spares listed below. Bike is a Rapide - 12 volt, electronic ignition. Tools (of course) AA Card in case all else fails Plugs Tubes Tube Repair Kit Cables Nuts, Bolts and washers Cable ties Tape Solderless nipples Bulbs Fuses Chain links Not as adventurous as our "Shadowman" I plan on "only" doing somewhere around 1000 miles for Manx GP week. I did nearly 450 in a day to York and back for the Riders Rally with no real problems so I imagine that it should be no big issue - and there'll be plenty of folks around for help and advice on the Island if anything goes wrong - still feels like a bit of an adventure though! I'd be interested in any hard won tips Vincent owners can offer on things to check, not to overlook and perhaps that little gem of a spare that I should take with me. Thoughts? Stuart [/QUOTE]
