    Re: Best oil to use in the UK

    When I had my Honda CBF125 in Wales, UK (2014-2017) I looked into this. Even my reputable dealer said ANY 10w40 is good for a 4-stroke, just as long as you change it regularly, as per the User...

    Re: Sinnis Apache 250 EFI chain rubbers

    Great link - thank you so much, Humanbeing :-)

    It's part no. 16 that I ordered via my dealer - a rubber block that had fallen off. It holds the lower chain off the side stand bracket.

    Re: Sinnis Apache 250 EFI chain rubbers

    Zorge - no worries mate. I check my tyres every day and chain tension most days. Always wipe the bike down after wet rides too. Keep it covered at work with an Oxford bike cover. All helps.

    Re: Sinnis Apache 250 EFI chain rubbers

    UPDATE: dealer looked at their online manual and found a chain guide has fallen off. Ordered one up for me, at £5.00GDP + postage, due to arrive in a few days - I'll post a pic for future reference....

    Re: Sinnis Apache 250 EFI chain rubbers

    UPDATE: not fixed.

    Called dealer, who said tighten chain. Chain tightened and still rubbing metal, making clanking sound - taking it to dealer now. No other option than to ride 15 miles with metal...

    Thanks Mollami. I know of someone who has the exact same bike so I'll email him and call him tomorrow.
    It could just be a slack chain, but it still shouldn't rub on metal...

    Re: My crazy project.

    Great thread. I look forward to seeing progress.
    I love replacing factory parts with stuff from ebay and breakers yards. Adds personality to any bike, sheds weight and gives me something to do

    Thanks again - as I thought then.

    Is there an interface for mapping/decoding software, or is it just not worth looking at?
  23. Re: Sinnis Apache 250: FI dash light flashing red

    Yes, I made a mistake with the model number - it is EFI.

    Update: Tried it this morning and can only see a faint red light whilst bike is parked in the garage. This is normal as the led isn't...
