Sounds like a reasonable price TBH for someone with zero no claims and recent test pass :y :y :y

When I had my bike it was covered under my trade policy Fully Comp, along with my van and 2 cars, but I was paying nearly £1k/year :o :o :o

It'll be there somewhere  :y. I'ts not at all obvious on my TDM and the oil reservoir is at the top ... effectively dry sumped.

I found the dip stick on the top, so the sump plug must be well hidden.

Think i will join a Yamaha forum, i think i give it a service when i get it.

I've been on my works policy for years but the rules have changed and I've had to get my own policy so I've only 1 year NCB, but last years premium for Fully Comprehensive on a H-D XL1200 was £78.00 .
Even I couldn't complain about that  :y
