    I'll start.. on an RSV, it's a dry sump and to check the oil level.. you have to ride it for 20 minutes, then have to remove 12 bolts on the left hand side fairing and take it off to visually check a tube is 2/3 full. There is no dipstick or viewing window on the bike, just the previous which is from the official Aprilia guide to check your oil level.. :rolleyes:: unamused:

    Headlight and tail light that come on by default and leaves insufficient energy to actuate the starter motor.

    Unfortunately, but little did I know until I went to look at the oil levels and couldn't find anywhere to fill it up or a dipstick/viewing window on either side of the engine block. I've never had owned/seen a bike without a viewing window/dipstick to check levels.

    I'm going to continue this with KTM mirrors.. when I last had one I had to hold the mirror so I could see before lane changes and that was if I was lucky it wasn't spinning around 360.

    For me it's putting on a bike cover ... doesn't matter what I do or on which bike I put it on, it always ends up getting caught somewhere on the bike I don't want it to ...

    I wish I had a garage.

    Having to wait for it to cool to put on the cover, or forgetting and it melts to your exhaust.
