1. Yes, it's called an M-Max box. I have one you can buy if you really want to!

2. Parts manual is by clicking the link on the left. Workshop manual you have to pay for it! Charles Gallant has done the work to translate it so if you're keeping the bike, it's a wise investment.

3. I get through a litre with each tank fill, about 150 miles, so 200 is very good.

4. The Alpha 10 is considered to be a great tyre. You're kinda limited with the tyre sizes we have, so see what you can get hold of at a price you can afford. Most of the tyres in the right size are good for road work.
