So my bike is due an annual service although only done just over 4K miles since last time, so I won’t bother but I will give it an oil and filter change using the proper stuff. Note..... trying to find Shell Advanced 4T 15w-50w is difficult, can I use the same weight but Mobil 1? But I want to change the brake and clutch fluid while I am twiddling my thumbs, I have done it before on different bikes but never on this 16 DVT, are there any gotcha’s I should know about before I start? Any advice on what fluid to use? I have new pads to install while I am there. Thanks
Should be no problem using other brands of the same spec oil, though - https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69342-...50-performance-synthetic-bike-engine-oil.aspx Manufacturers change oil brands as per any deal they do with the supplier..
No. really straight forward. If you still have the original plastic covers for the brake and clutch reservoirs then do not fill more than half as they tend to leak. At least they did on mine.
