Hi All. I just picked up a 2013 Multistrada S Touring last week, lots of carbon, full termi with upmap and the previous owner transformed the silver bike with a full PP style body wrap. What a blast this bike is My other bike is a kwak GTR1400 that I can see being relegated to a bit of a winter hack now.
Having run shaft drives for the last 15 years ( FJRs and a GTR1400 ) chain oiling is a long forgotten chore for me. No problems with adjusting the chain after the ride down from London to Cornwall , less than an hour for a first time. I have seen this Tutoro automatic chain oiler that looks simple and non invasive to fit, no plumbing into electrics or vacuum etc. and in the gallery there are a few pics of tidy installs on Multistradas. anyone here used these and would recommend them ? Auto - Delux edition Stu..
Welcome. Manual oiling is fine if you are prepared to put the time in cleaning and applying fairly regularly. Only time it becomes a pain is on a high mileage tour.
I am a bit torn ATM , the PP wrap that is on the bike looks quite cool but if you look close the finish is a bit pish, some creases on the tank etc.. Then again the pp wrap will be a brilliant paint saver until I want to take the bike back to the original silver. Stu..
Hello! I grew up in St Ives and then Hayle, my family are still down there I havn't brought the Panigale down to visit yet, I've been wanting to get it out on the North Penwith coast since buying it.
Not too sure about that , this is her fully dressed outside the Sloop just before a wet and windy ride down the twisty coast road to St Just yesterday.
Ahh, were we talking about bikes? Yours looks better dressed in my opinion. I love that harbour, such a great atmosphere, although a pity the tourist hordes have spoiled it a bit. I remember visiting my Gran when she worked in the shop a couple doors from the Sloop when I was really young.
Here you go Royal.. A pic of the shop that Gran worked in , was it the rock shop next to Harts ice cream parlour ? This pic also proves that Ducs don't mind a bit of water
