4 minutes ago, keithpa said:You are either A a fool or B funny. (add to damage to seals, damage to O rings. Make something of that)
Ok, try this.... Where I come from calamari is often referred to as O-rings. I'm not sure but would hazard a guess seals would enjoy a feed of O-rings. Not sure if said seals prefer natural rubber or the synthetic variety. Maybe you have intimate knowledge on the topic ?
No, not a fool by any stretch of the imagination. Why would you go into the compound structure of seals & rubber & O-rings in reply to a very basic question about advice re use of synthetic oil V mineral oil ?
So to be sure we're on the same page, I'll pose the same question, reworded.
"Would it be possible for some recommendations as to the benefit, if any, of using synthetic oil to using a mineral based oil in a small Yamaha motor ?"
I don't consider any factory appointed dealer, even here in LOS, would offer for sale, or install any oil, mineral or synthetic, in a bike if were not compatible with the said seals, walruses' or even, dare I suggest, penguins !!!
Oh, for what it's worth, I'm quite happy to play your game until a Mod comes along & closes the topic. It appears Mods don't possess a great sense of humor in these situations.
Did you hear about the penguin that walked into the bar ? Bartender asked, did you just blow a seal ? Na, said penguin, just had an ice cream & don't have a tissue to wipe my mouth.

I've purchased the Aerox. Take delivery on Wednesday. Dealer only offered personal accident insurance, no accident or theft insurance for the bike. Any recommendations for a broker or reputable insurer ?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Thanks Dave. I thought so, just wanted to confirm.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome aboard. Hope you have a sense of humor.

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....

Thanks Sheryl. Much appreciated.

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 :-)

I had both knees replaced at St Louis Hospital about 2 years ago. Extremely happy with Dr & care in general. Would thoroughly recommend.
PM me if you like any details.
Cheers.

It sounds like the airport needs some safe zone/comfort rooms for offended and stressed people. Maybe equipped with cuddly toys and anger management dolls.
Good idea. If they can offer prayer rooms & smoking rooms why not offer frustration rooms ????

Buy a blender & make your own. I dice up banana & mango & freeze. My standard brekky is the frozen fruit, low fat milk, honey, maybe a scoop of protein powder & sometimes a scoop of instant oats. Blend for a minute or two. Keeps me going well into the day.

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

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