Since this lovely piece of machinery was discontinued ...

I wonder how many are still in action & where ..
not sure how many were sold in SA, will try & look for that stat..

Not to distract from the dedicated thread, it would be nice to get a bit of info..

Something like this..

Salt Rock KZN
2007 model - purchased 2009 17000Km
Sold 47500Km..
2004 model Purchased 2013 - 7500Km - Current

Since these bike are destined to become collectors items, it would be great to hear where you live, I might have to beg some parts ..

Is this restricted to 640's only, as I have a 625 SXC, but it's still an LC4.

2006, with just over 6K on the clock currently. I bought it last year & the silly grin never leaves may face while & after riding it!!

2005 model, with 32 l tank.
44k on clock and going strong!

DeeCeeBee · « **Reply #6 on:** October 21, 2013, 10:57:40 pm »

Was the 32l tank standard for that year or a mod?

Malibu · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2013, 07:49:04 am »

No, aftermarket!

It does allow me to carry extra fuel for Mark!

What's the funny "clatter" noise when shutting down?

DeeCeeBee · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2013, 09:21:20 pm »

I was also wondering that?

DeeCeeBee · « **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2013, 09:26:15 am »

Please help!
What oil are the 640 owners out there using?
The book says 10w50 fully synthetic, any suggestions on brands would be much appreciated.

AntonW · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2013, 09:58:55 am »

The are quite a few brands at varying pricing, I use Castrol Power 1 bought from makro at about R90 per liter. Made for use in bikes

DeeCeeBee · « **Reply #19 on:** November 03, 2013, 04:30:33 pm »

Thanks Anton,
I bought some repsol at a similar price to what you say above.
Cheers.
