yep, thanks Ret'dgent' don't expect to be replacing those plugs in my lifetime! Will try to do more miles than I have been though & wear a few bits out. The rear tyre (Dunlop D401 "Harley Davidson") was replaced by PO in 2004 so is over-due even though tread is still good after 7k miles. Front is a Bridgestone Accolade ribbed pattern that I transfered from my W650 when I fitted new TT100's to it. Not as old as the rear but getting on. Was thinking about a pair of Metzeler ME77's as replacements. They don't look over-modern - anyone tried them?
Re my sump bolt - thanks for the tip about how to remove. If it leaks I'll try that & if not save it for next oil change.
