    Brake Noise

    Ferrodo, great brakes - noise :icon_silenced: Must be an ebc thing.
  2. Should not have an issue with the sun melting anyrhing. I would worry about the wind buffetting the DB is going to subject you too.

    fork oil

    Change the oil. You have teflon slidders against aluminum. As soon as the oil gets contaminated, a great deal of wear can occure.
  5. Chevron full synthetic, "if you can find it"
  6. Just fill up using any gas sold in the United States. Government has regs that the oil companies have to meet. One is that there is a cleaner included with the gas that is sold. If you have hesitation, you may have gotten a tank of bad gas. Drain it and fill up with Chrevron. If the injectors are not already clogged, this should clean things up.
  7. Erion, Micron, or Acropovic would be my 1st choises. Two Brothers, Leo-Vincy, Yosh., would be a great 2nd choices.
  8. Mobile 1 is a blend. A few years back, when Castro released their Full Synthic. It has a petroleum base. Mobile sued, and "lost". The Federal Board of Petroleum products in their decision decided that petrolium from the ground was being refined to such a high state that it did not matter if it was used as a base stock for oils that bore the Fully Synthics label. Mobile jumped on this. Why because it's alot cheaper to produce the synthics product this way. Amsoil, put some 10/40 in the bike last year. It still looks clean, the bike still shifts clean, and I can still run up through downtown Los Angeles on the 110 and not have the cooling fans come on, unless I just get stopped and cannot get some air moving through the rad. "that also has Amsoil full syn ani freeze". Amsoil, "I've been sold since I 1st put it in my bike".
  9. MoBil 1 ya it is a great blend of petroleum and synthetic, but. AMSOIL is "SIMPLY THE BEST" and it is a "full synthetic"

    Friggen GE shit

    Just got my kitchen together. For a Dishwasher, I went with Siemens. Very nice, 3year warranty on parts.
  11. Get Drunk, then throw them into the dumpster. Not an option. Try to find a private recycle place in your area. They may pay you.
  12. "Bullshit" YA Seems about wright.

    mobil 1

    Put Amsoil in a little over 1 year ago. The motor immediatly ran cooler and the trans shifted cleaner. Today, the same oil is still clear and I have not noticed any degredation in the feel in the shifter. Amsoil, I'm sold.
  14. picked up a set of Bridgestone 014's Great tires $250 a set though.
  15. Using that mobil 1 petrolium/synthetic blend oil.

    OEM brake pads

    "Ferrodo" Nothing more to say.
  17. Change to Amsoil 10w/40 as soon as possible. You can find a local dlr off their web-site.
  18. Before mounting, remove the bar code. I know of a few instances where the tire did not seal around it. Result, yes a flat tire.
  19. Stock, wind at between 70 to 80mph holds your weight off the wriste. Plus there is no wind buffetting you get with most doubledubbles.
  20. To prevent air from coming in through past the threads. Pull the bleader out and wrap some teflon tape around the threads. Note; Be careful not to cover the small bleed hole on the inside of the threads.
  21. Royal Purple is also a true full synthetic.
  22. A few years ago Castrol decided to market a synthetic. Mobil suide. Why, well Castrol was calling their oil a full synthetic and it actually is made with a petrolium base stock. Mobil lost, so in the interest of paying the lawyers and the corp execs more money, they decided to join Castrol and manufacture their oil with a Petrolium base stock. So we have a blend.
  23. Yes, the changing of ones oil is the one single best thing one can do for the longevity of a motor. However, if ne has to put forth a choice. AMSOIL 10W40. Put this stuff in the bike in the spring of 2004. It's still clean, the trans still shifts with incredible eaze, and the temp gage still shows a cooler operating temp. Mobil 1, this petrolium/synthetic blend. Is just copying Amsoils marketing with their sad attempt at offering an extended drain interval.
  24. Erion or the Micron, 2 BrothersRacing would be 3rd on the list.
