Also, how do I know if I've the long oil filter cap?

That'll be 03 then - they didn't introduce the bronze ones until 2003

And full synth should be fine

Seems I've an 03 then... What changed that made my clutch fine taking fully synth?

Appreciate the info on oil filter. Been bugging me for a few days.

Mines the fast model?

Nobody seems certain of what they did to the clutch but the later bikes clutches don't tend to have a problem with fully synth oil.

Interesting, although I doubt I'll look further into it either...
Acht well, service in next couple weeks followed by 15t front, gear indicator and 190/55 part used track tires.

I must admit, I really enjoy the falco, you don't have to wring its neck all the time just to accelerate. Love the handling and engine braking.
