That is very low kms. Should be good for that again now but be prepared to start putting money into the suspension if you want to retain the great ride.Quote:

My 85ah auxiliary battery finally died after 7 1/2 years which is a good effort I think, picked up a 75ah off Facebook Which drops in without issues.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cc10b2db75.jpg
Noticed it has been taking a bit longer to warm up.
Sitting at the lights today the oil temp was at 71 and the coolant at 68. By the time I'd left the intersection it was down to 64 so I'm wondering if the thermostat is stuck open. I've never seen the oil temp above the coolant temp until they were both > 90 and the thing was working hard. It always lags coolant temp on warm up.
Can't really stump up a grand for the whole octopus hose assembly, so might need to see if I can just get the thermostat.
