Awesome, Bas - let us know how you get on. I'm keen to know about the lubes you use, as I'm pretty sure they're not the same ones as you'd use on a 3135.
Just in layman's terms, of course...

Actually they are the same, 9010 for shock system, HP1000 for things like the gear train and for high friction parts like the keyless and rotor axle I use MR4.

I will make a detailed post when I'm finished.

Me too. What I like best is that it changes from black to deep blue to the grey/blue fade when it's cloudy.
