    Exactly my situation.  Oh! I misread.  Its deck not dick, right?

     

    Sure its not dick?

    I was wondering why keithpa was polishing the deck himself & not his wife doing the polishing while she relaxed on it.

    Im a hydraulic fitter. .. Natural rubber compounds are not suitable for exposure to petroleum based oils . Synthetic rubber is not suitable for exposure to vegetable oils.Know what your seals are made out of before you chose what what oil to use. Or,  take everybody else advice and keep your fingers crossed.

    Thanks for that Keith. Just one point I'd make in return to your reply. I'm inquiring about the benefit of synthetic oil in a new bike. This would indicate I'm looking for advice, a Novus so to say.  Considering this, do you think I'd have the slightest idea of what the seals are made from ? My best guess would be... fur, bones, blood, blubber & the like. Not sure if said seals like synthetic or mineral oil.

  3. Hi Jack.

    Thanks for the reply. What is your opinion about the synthetic oil ? Irrespective of cost, is there a long term benefit ?

    Oil change every one or two years ? I realize oil changes would mostly depend on distance traveled, but to me 12 -24 months seems a long time between changes.

    Thanks again for getting back to me.

  4. Hi again all.

    Just purchased the Aerox. What's the general consensus on synthetic oil ?  Worth the expense ? I intend keeping the bike for quite some time. What Km's to change over to synthetic oil ? How often for oil changes with mainly sealed road riding ?

    Thanks all.

  5. Some advice, info please. I'm seriously contemplating purchasing a new Yamaha Aerox scooter. For the past few years I've been using community Honda Wave & Scoopy. Time for a unit of my own.

    80% of riding will be town traffic & remainder short distance day trips.

    I'd appreciate advice, comments, both positive & negative. Also advice re the different versions. Standard, R version & ABS version. Is the additional cost per version justifiable ? I don't consider I'll be doing much, if any wet weather riding.

    Thanks in advance.

    Mods. Not every member read the motorcycle section, so would appreciate leaving this in General please.

  7. Try   https://www.fastcarhire.co.uk/      I've used them numerous times.  They are a brokerage that uses most of the major hire firms. I find their service far better than dealing direct with the hire car company.

    I've had occasions where say Avis or Hertz can't or won't assist, dealing through FastCar produces excellent results. I've had cars delivered to & picked up from my nominated hotel.

    Cheers....

  8. Good morning all.

    Can anyone recommend an ophthalmologist please ?   I reside in Sakon Nakhon so I can drive easily to Udon Thani or Khon Kaen. If the recommendation is Chiang Mai or Bangkok I'm happy to travel if necessary.

    I haven't had an eye examination for some years. I'm developing some night vision focus issues. I'll feel more confident having an ophthalmologist examination than with a basic check at a local mall optometrist.   

    Thanks in advance  :-)

    Geordie, mate !  They take the bulb out on purpose. If no tail light, the bad spirits can't follow them home. Quite logical really....
