Names to the faces?

My Morini 🦘 has a dry clutch, book says 20-50. I first used up the 10-40 I had left. Next she'll get https://www.louis.nl/nl/saito-motorolie-sae-20w-50-4t-mineral-4-liter-10038558?filter_bike_id=4472&filter_article_number=10038558 Yep, cheap as chips.... Lambertini's engine has a lot of interesting features. Like no actual oil feed to the head's tappets/springs, but "oil vapour". So the less sophisticated the oil the better...

Motul 5100 4 liter is ~€37 Motul 7100 4 liter is ~€55 So far I've over 300,000km with 5100 in my Honda V4 and V2's Semi synth is perfectly fine PS I run 50W monograde in my 1950's 4 stroke Gilera.....

Just enjoy the ride. I would leave the bike pretty much as it is and you have been riding it till now. After the first 100km set it 2 clicks harder and ride another 100km to see if you prefer it or not. It is easy to overthink suspension, I used to do that too. Been riding a few times 2,000km in 7 days on this. WOT up and down curvy mountainroads No suspension adjusment...

These the "VFRcritical" tools from the kit

Welcome ro VFRD from across the pond!!

Temp gauge is a bit slow yeah, just as the fuel gauge stays up and than drops like a brick. No worries. If FL gets hot, a simple flick switch allows you to let the fan run. Wire the fan's negative connector to the frame with the switch inline.

Loosen the rad's mounting points and put a diy wedge in so you have maximum space. Can't get a torque wrench in so tighten 'a mani' as my Italian pals tell me. You could torque the rear ones and 'get a feel' on the force required. But in practise, tighten by hand and give it 1/4 turn works for me.

Oh yeah, lest not forget this one

Here some spare tools from a VFR800 kit The "key" 3 are on the right. Chain and shock tensioner The ring spanners are 14 17 and 10 12. The regular 8 12 and 10 14 The full kit has afaik a feeler gauge and a flat/philips screwdriver.

I had Pirelli GT's on my RC51 and did a trackday. Plenty corner grip.

Aye, best is to attain a "ZEN" state of mind, the art of motorcycle maintenance one 😎
