hi there
couple of small things.im about to buy a new rear box for the touring
g and swedish do 2 types one at 36+ and one at 56+vat ones german the others not!
havent seen either type and was wondering what one to get?

also when cold the gearbox is a little notchy its ok after a couple of miles i was wondering if its worth changing the oil ?

thanks
Matt

Regards the gearbox problem, changing the gearbox oil will help with this - even better if you get some synthetic oil.
