Re: A little help from the wise ones please
I would use silicon spray rather than penetrating oil. Penetrating oil frequently has acetone in it. Acetone and plastic don't get along well

Re: Noco Booster
I have one and it works great. The problem is that an RT battery (positive terminal) is excessively difficult to access for just a quick jump. Any ideas to make it easier??

Re: What don't you like
I love my bike but there are areas that need attention I agree, it's a hot bike to ride in the summer. If you have short legs, putting your legs down is a bitch.
