Hairy

going to add that to my shopping list thank you!

I tried 2 x different straps, and with both they could not remove the filter. Previously when using these, the filter came off rather easily. Resorted to screw drivers and whatever else could be found in the garage following this and then the custom tool that did the job. When I called my neighbour over, who has been working on his own bikes, cars and commercial ships, he said he has never had an oil filter so tightly fit on a bike. Could the previous person maybe have just forgotten to lube up the rubber seal with oil before fitting and then turned it just that bit too tight? The machined face that received the rubber gasket was still smooth and clean when I got the filter off, so this tells me the rubber did not "bond" to the engine case?

Suzuki are doing really good work, when Toyota piggyback their models though, they do improve a bit on the styling vs the Suzuki options. Back in the day before our friend covid came around, I would cycle to work and back daily, and then to meetings. If a meeting was too far away I would jump into an Uber. The Suzuki and Honda Ubers were always the best feeling and built cars in the high mileage range you expect an Uber to be in.

On average the std depth of a garage should be 6m, so it is strange that your 5110mm length Ranger does not fit. The standard South African parking bay though is 5mx2.5m, so your Ranger is too long for a standard bay.

maybe they are planning to go large and do not think (Or more accurately, do not trust their legs to carry them) they will be able to walk that extra 50m back to their cars again ................ JOKES ......... everybody skips leg days, so it must be something else then.

HEY ... AIRGUITAR IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

LITTLE WORKSHOP OF HORRORS This is what it looks like when the person who fit the oil filter the last time over tightened the damned thing. At this point, getting thoughts of getting the oil filer out includes fire and hammers with the little bit of explosives. Thank fully my neighbour came to the rescue. With the can split open, the ports are visible, and this section of steel looked to be rather sturdy. So Tony the neighbour made up a tool so that we could use these holes to twist the can off. Thank freaking goodness it worked. A simple engine oil and air filter change turned into a few hours of frustration and cut up hands with often more blood on the floor than oil. Got her sorted, clean up and took her for a spin. Every time I replace the air filter she just feels so peppy.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate that many riders out there on rather decent spec bikes, clearly know their bikes brand name, then often know the model, not often know the range in the model naming and too few know the overall specs of the drivetrain, wheels and components on the bike they are currently riding.

Or start making smaller cars

look we all make bad choices at some point in life hey

I thought those always parked over two parking bays anyway, so the width would never have been an issue?

You forgot about this parking option on the pavement where pedestrians need to walk, but can not with the wide Landy in the way.

One years difference in a model can also lead to geo changes in the frame

The biggest advantage with the user comments on adds, was also the biggest flaw with users comments on adds.

Impossible, the technology to make this happen will never exist.

Negative If you do that then the Admin of the group needs to keep things in check ............ here Matt and team have volunteered to do so

one would assume the one bike had 4 more years of use, or wear and tear.

IF ONLY ONE COULD COMMENT ON THE ADDS AND CORRECT THEM
