Thanks Terry, all your videos are useful and interesting. I have just bought a G3L so its handy for me to see 'how to' videos on it. Checked the bike over before riding including the chaincase level. It looks like a new primary chain and is nicely lubricated but needed topping up. Which I did and it dumped the lot over night onto its drip tray underneath! I will be taking off the cover to check the rubber! thanks again.
If your bike is anything like mine the battery box mounts are slotted and it's likely fitted as low as possible. If you move it up there will be enough room the next time to remove the band without disturbing it.
