Hi Michelo, That's a nice bike you have there. I used to have a suzuki gsf 650. Now sold. I miss it. It fitted in with my life style, was more of hobby at the time. I never got to clean the chain always left it to my mechanic, but he did advise on using a degreaser fluid. Good to see the weather held up 😊
Hi Michelo hope you're well, great video as always! Re chain cleaning, I use paraffin in a spray bottle to clean the chain and then gear oil to lube it. Diesel might be a bit harsh with the O rings. Re touring, I toured Europe in 2023 with my CB650R and covered just over 3000 miles in 12 days. It wasn't too uncomfortable however it wouldn't tour again with it as I have the Suzuki GSX 1250FA and that's a sports tourer so I get the best of both worlds with it and it's very comfortable especially as it has a comfort seat and that makes a huge difference. My only gripe with it is I'm used to 60+ mpg with the Honda but only get low 40s mpg with the GSX but like I say it's worth loosing some mpg and substitute it with comfort!
@@BMCMOTOUK thanks for the tips. I have also recently been looking at a couple sports tourers. The only thing swaying my towards the tourers is perhaps more comfy for the Misses if she decides to tag along (there goes my lads ride out 😆)
great video buddy :)
