Dear Jorge and Phoebus:
in effect I have somethings to say for you both:
First to Jorge, I change the oil at maximum 6000 km. normally at 5000 -
5500, now I have 13,800 and I've changed it already two times, so next time
will be at 17000, more or less.
Second "Kastanos", I'm Italian and I do not disagree with the comment of the
T66, I received my bike from the dealer with those tyres and today I have
Metzeler ENDURO 4, which is an excelent tyre with respect to the Michelin
T66, Attention: this doesn't mean that is the best tyre, but for sure
thousands of times better than the T66.
Drive safety, doesn't mean slowly ;-)
