Thanks for the fluid advice, I am putting new stuff in today and will be purchasing it shortly! I think the last stuff I bought was Motul.... depends what the local Auto Barn has got in stock though, but Ill try for Motul again.
Trini G- I am not aware of places that you can hire trail bikes, Ill ask around this weekend to see if I can find out for you. This weekend is a long weekend iz Oz, queens birthday (about the only benefit of still being part of the commonwealth). Ill be riding in a ususal haunt called Mogo State Forest, just outside of Batemans Bay NSW. I live in Canberra and Mogo is about 2 hrs from here, a little less perhaps. Usually I ride in the Mountains surrounding Canberra called the Brindabellas. They are about half an hours drive from my place and there are some spectacular trails and hill climbs there. Its not as scenic as usual thanks to a devastating bush fire we had 2 years ago, but the trails are all open again now.
