1. Keeping licence. Leave gixer in garage, travel by scooter. That also gives the rest of us a chance to keep up. 2. Chain lube. I know the problem with it flinging off. It's a PITA with polished rims too. Currently using PJ1 (available from Cradley Kwak) which according to the logo on the tin won't fling off. I've proved them wrong - it will if you put too much on. Chain wax may be another alternative but to my mind doesn'tpenetrate and lube the chain so well. (I may be wrong on that one, just my opinion) Kal Gard clear chain lube which is PTFE based comes highly recommended in certain circles too. I've not tried this yet and after having spent hours scouring the web to find a supplier other than Busters, found it at Cradley Kwak. 3. Light bulbs. Haven't a clue. I do know there is a good supplier for lighting somewhere on the web but can't remember who/where they are.

I always thought it a little odd that so many bike manufacturers go to the trouble of providing twin headlight fairings and only wire one of them up on dipped beam. It does look odd. The S Rex isn't wired up that way. Both of those lights operate on dipped and main beam. Apart from the brighter bulbs and rainbow strobes I've made no mods to the lighting which you'll have seen on the odd occasion when you've been in front of me.
