[QUOTE="AndrewM, post: 179396, member: 5669"] I've already drained and replenished engine and chaincase oil. When the bike arrived in Australia after a 4 month trip from the UK, the oil tank was completely empty and the sump was full, probably about 3 1/2 pints! Thanks for the suggestion about wintergreen oil, I've ordered some and have had a look at some of the YouTube videos, pretty impressive results, particularly this one: [MEDIA=youtube]EnGsllKvheQ[/MEDIA] I'm very keen to try this on the tank kneepads which are very hard and inflexible. I've also ordered some new tank mount rubbers from the AJS/Matchless owners club, these are very close to the right diameter for the Series A and just need to be bored out a bit to fit the larger Series A tank bolts. Simon Dinsdale has already mentioned to me that his handlebars measure 27" on the bike, so I will work to that figure unless someone can give me a definitive measurement for the bare bars. [/QUOTE]
