OK the oil change has been completed with a large amount of frustration. 

Found the last oil filter in my area (Yamaha part number 5JX-13440-00), when I went to install it I found I could not close the oil filter cover. Located and purchased an aftermarket item which fitted perfectly.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? 

Just as I finished the oil change it was announced that we are in lockdown again so maybe no riding for a while.

The only problem I've had was finding the o-ring which came with the filter was too large.

 

Lockdown riding is fine if it's an essential journey :good:

Never bought a Yamaha oil filter so can't comment, strange it doesn't fit though.  I allus use Champion oil filters, easy to buy, here in blighty, and work just as well.

Bought and installed a Garmin Zumo 396 onto my TDM850. I was getting a bit fed up with my old Garmin Nuvi which was showing signs of surliness, and I thought the mounting on the Zumo was much better.

But, god's teeth, this has been a bloody Lost Weekend !  The damned Zumo just refused to obey me all Saturday and had me flouncing off to bed in a right huff. I'd left it on charge overnight on the kitchen table and when I got up it was smugly announcing that it was "no longer in Demo Mode and would now operate normally".  Despite it being the Sabbath day, there was a fair amount of cursing this morning !  What a bloody footery damned contraption.  I eventually got a couple of routes successfully installed on it and a short local test route.  So off for a short 30km run to test it out . OK so far , but there's a lot of stuff on this thing.  Maybe a source of distraction ?  Personally, I wont be having sounds on it, or a telephone linked to it and probably half of the alerts have been switched off.

So why did I buy it ?   I was expecting it to be easier to load routes onto and to just be a bit slicker to use than my 10 year old Garmin Nuvi.

Well it's not !.....so far.

And I still like the mount....

Beeline works ok, you just have to get your head around how it works. I like compass mode, pick your own roads. It's a bit like taping a list of roads to your tank, it just says turn left or right etc. About the size of a large compass.
