>3. Has anyone found a good way to oil the chain
Yes! Buy a centre stand, the 3rd parts ones are cheaper and works good.
Also is good for winter storage. If not: put bike in neutral, one person
standing on left side of bike with sidestand down, lifting the backwheel
while person #2 lubricates the chain. On long trips I always lubricate
the chain each morning for long lifespan.

>4.The front end feels increasingly vague - can anyone suggest a cause or an
adjustment ? Check the bearings of the front fork. This is a weakness on
the @. I've changed 3 times in 44.000 km! (I have never steamed or used
strong detergents) Also you might want to increase air-pressure in f.f.
After last service, my front was a lttle "jumpy", but after increasing
air pressure this was gone. This is also more comfortable driving on
>regular roads.
