As everything else on the front end is Yamaha I would guess that the original bars are also Yamaha.

In our vessels main gearboxes we use a synthetic oil, which we know is not miscible with a mineral oil, so I would suggest your current oil and the Silkolene is the same. As there is little oil...

Alan, At 235KG kerb weight they are not as heavy as some modern tourers, binding brakes may make it feel heavier than they are.

Re: indicator relay
John,
It may not be a straight forward as a simple relay, modern cars use can bus systems, my advice would be to seek professional advice from either the dealer or a good auto electrician.

This means that I will be able to keep my Commander on the road for the foreseeable future, these bikes are not designed to be used without the gaiters as they provide an oil bath and subsequently the lubricatio...
