SwampNut, I just serviced my front forks. (Removed, Disasembled, Cleaned, Inspected) I went to the honda dealer and asked for the correct fork fluid and they gave me 10w fork oil. I ride tomorrow. I found out later that the book calls for SS 8w oil. What should I look out for. Am I going to have problems? Thanks for helping in advance. H2

Hey John, good to see you on line. After the hoot, I did change my chain and sprockets. I have gone over 300 miles on only one tank of gas :!: I did that on the way to the 2003 NEXXT. The boys still can't believe it's possible :!: While doing the tour, I never gased up! :grin: Others have 2,3, or 4 times :!: :sad: H2

BT57 - 3300 miles BT010 - 1800 miles D207 - 1700 miles BT56SS - 3600 miles Sounds like low air. Maybe side drag caused by alignment concerns, or a little of both. I got my worst mileage this past week-end with the BT 57's. 9027 miles on the rear and 11,337 on the front. My last set went over 15K on the front and over 12K on the rear. The 57's love hi air pressures. 45-46 PSI front and rear cold. I just went over 36K on the bike.

Dave, you old fucker, How are you? They still make the BT 57's. The 20's are softer, but don't last as long as the 57's. I got 10k on the front and 8k on the rear and they are still going strong. And you know I run high pressures and still hang in the corners :wink: I've got the same tires that I had at the Hoot. Go with the BT 57's. They ARE MADE for the XX :!:

Bring plenty of tape :!: H2
