Hi Geoff, G'day from WA. I've had my G5 for a couple of months now, just done over 500 kms, everything looking good. One early worry to notice some black oil seeping over the fins of the sump was unfounded when it was found to be a black oily grease used to lubricate the chain. The only items I've had to replace are the seat holding bolts, threads stripped, easy replacements as they're M6 20/25mm.
Visiting Tassie in 5 days, but in a hired Audi. Cheers Larry
