I rode to work on Thursday and Friday last week 1st ride for ages and since puting fully synth in.

Only remembered about the oil on Friday so tried a few big twists to see if I could slip the clutch. Tried a short shift to 2nd and whacked the throttle open all that did was lift the front, not big or clever on the Battersea Bridge, 'kin good fun though.

On the A3 I tried again higher up the revs starting about 6k, but just masses of pull and no slip.

All good then or do I need to try something else.
