Yeah it's a new mic as I broke the one I was using and its the 1st time I used it. I use a Drift Ghost XL which is notorious for mic problems. I will drop the mic sensitively down and see if that improves the audio. Glad you enjoyed the vid, thank you.
@@Mean-bj8wp I don't know but, from the factory I would assume mineral oil base only for running in then first service would be switched to fully synthetic. 5w40 or 10w40 I found it strange that the manual doesn't have the type listed and also the regional ambient temp climate chart for correct viscosity
@@alexs5373 well I can assure you as its my bike it had 10w40 semi synthetic in it and it was Putoline DX4 I have changed to silkoline as that's what I always use. The manual says that is should have API SN standard so as long the oil is of that standard it's all good both the oils I mentioned are API SN.
@@Mean-bj8wp Agreed I ask and this is also for anyone else reading my G1 I'd done 100 miles already but noticed the oil level was below min ! So I don't know what to top it up with if it has running in oil in it from factory. I should have checked it when it was delivered so seems it came new with low oil ..
@@alexs5373 OK unfortunately I can't help you there my bike was all good on delivery and the 1st 2 oil changes were done by the dealer. I don't actually know what was in it from new I did ask the dealer and he said the bike was delivered dry and they put in Putoline DX4 10w40 and filled it with Putoline coolant. I can't confirm was I was told was correct but he has a good reputation and I've found him to be honest. If it were me I'd ask the dealer to top it up if its low as it should have been picked up on the PDI, I know it's obvious but it should be checked only if the engine has been off for at least 30 mins to allow the oil to settle.
The 1st service was about £158 which was rediculous. Service costs depend on the dealer. I went to and spoke to another dealer A R Motorcycles (they did the 1st review in English) www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D06vCSTWB9wE&ved=2ahUKEwjq3Jvv8dXzAhUBoVwKHU2DAt8QwqsBegQIAxAE&usg=AOvVaw3LbNZn2r2ru8jnsKhBje9e and was told their service was £70 but I suspect it was just the basic bare minimum where as my dealer did do a complete and thorough check of the bike but it was at a cost.
Just bought same bike.I love it.
Try to improve the audio, maybe moving the microphone away from your mouth a bit ... Good video btw!👍

nice your bike..
Thank you.
What oil does it use API Sn ? 5w40? Do you know 👍
I use silkoline super 4 10W40 semi synthetic. But basically any motorcycle semi synthetic 10W40 should be OK.

How much was your first service

Looking at buying one 2nd hand with 5000 miles on the clock - apart from chain/sprockets is there anything else you'd recommend checking?
