Hi Mark, On a single pingel it is not very much at all and I am not sure how consistent they are - I have seen one person say like under 10 miles - I have done 20 careful miles on reserve and when filled up I calculated that there was very very little left to go - always meant to run it dry to reall...

I guess it depends on specifically what your cold starting issue is when cold compared to warm? does it still turn over well when cold but just not firing straight away ? I have z900 bored to 1015 with high compression - CR31 carbs and never any issues starting - it has standard starter but battery ...

Very nicely coming along Steve, my outrigger is much more exposed from the side and I find that the lube does not tend to fling up towards starter as S13 advises however it does fling downwards but not that you really noticed as it seems to nicely clump up and with all parts in the area being black ...

Alternatively you may wish to consider billet adjustable side stand that the likes of Japan weblike do and Saisei in UK may be able to get for you - more expensive for sure, however you can adjust to suit your exact lean requirements if that is a deciding factor
