Does anyone have any tips of keeping plastic clean? I have a DRZ-SM and iv tried Both a brand new sponge, and a microfibre polish towel and both have left streaks everywhere. I know there is gonna be no good way of keeping it looking scratch free but after 5-10 washes its going to look really really bad. I also tried a 'motorcycle plastics cleaner' that after a test patch, i threw into the bin straight away.


Motul Wash & Wax works great.

Alright, my google fu is failing me today. Can anyone help me figure out what the oil capacity on a 1988 Honda CB450S is? I think it would be marginally different from a Nighthawk of the same vintage, as it has an oil cooler. The amount of oil that I took out while doing the change wasn't any help either, as it wasn't high enough to register on the dipstick :3:

You don't have to use the exact amount of oil. What you can do is fill the engine oil until the gauge says it's full. In order to get it right, the engine will need to be warm.
Fill your engine up until you see where the line should be, fire it up and idle for a few minutes. If the oil line went down, add more.

Edit: only check when the engine is off, obviously.
