My bike was running rough and lacked power so it was time to sort it. When I bought the bike it always felt like it was not running properly although Ive not had it long.

Hi Guys, Need to loosen my rear axle nut to adjust my chain and the biggest socket I have is 21mm which is to small. I am about to head out to buy a bigger one and was hoping someone can confirm the size for me, it looks a 23mm would do it. Thanks, Michael

This would have been asked before I guess but here goes. What engine oil seems to work in the TTR ? I had been using a racing 4T (maxima) oil in the XR & never had a problem, been thinking about a semi Syn oil 10w 40, I'm using the same in my Triumph's but they ask for a semi syn oil so I'm using 10w 40 Maxima. ...
