Hi From Oxford

Hi all i`m steve from Oxford been on this site for a while now but said not hello..so hello..I have owned my M600 Monster dark 2000 since last may,didn`t get chance to ride much last year what with moving and stuff ....but have been getting the bike ready for this year changing the cam belts..plugs.. filter...resealing the side casings as both leaked oil...so should be ready for a good season`s riding.......one question though can anybody tell me what the measurment should be for top of the forks above the top yoke.....looks like the yoke is too low to me......Many Thanks,Steve

Hi and welcome Steve,
I am only up the road Moreton in Marsh.
If you fancy a run out next Sunday I will be going to Nelsons Diner for the breakfast/brunch meet and could meet up for the ride down.

Hi Steve

Not far from you, just in Wheatley.

Looks like we've got a good few new monsters around here now.
