Don't change it. It really doesn't make any difference in consumer (non-commercial) vehicles. You can drive newer cars for years without changing oils. Sure there are outliers and anecdotal reports of engine failures, just as there are certifiable laboratory results of oil degradation and/or engine wear as a result. But in a universe of dwindling fossil fuels and in a universe where we need energy for data centers a hell of a lot more than we need to make more oil for a questionable oil change for a hobby car, the point at where an oil change is needed versus just a coin toss, the sensible thing would be to leave it be and drive it.

Easy mistake to make. He actually does live in western Virginia.

Now that the center stand issue has resolved, I moved on to the problem of the newly moved pipe melting my soles. I wrapped it with DEI and I guess it will work, the temp as measured by IR is ~300 F. I am open to using some flashing to nigger rig a shield, but there may be better solutions. 2 Bros 4-into-1. A gremlin that showed up last year's NeXXT was the speedo became intermittent. Should not be a big deal since I sport a radar detector, but with my wonky fuel gauge its becomes more of an issue. I checked the harness above the transmission yetsredat and cleaned the white connector up a bit, hope that helps. I may do a ground check on the dash over the next couple weeks but time is becoming a luxury. Joe, the hose I procured from you last year seems to be doing the trick. Thanks! The bike is still on the rack, but after 6 cycles of running till full temp is reached everything is dry. Mike, the fan has cut on every time at 225 F with IR pointed at center of radiator. I will still leave the switch, 'cause every time I notice it I think of you and get a woody. I am going to take the GIVI top case and mount off, I am going to attempt to do this with side bags only. Bill, I am turning over a new leaf. 70 pounds. How does that sound?

Dumbass. He's in VA. Visqueene and duck tape.

Is this doctor an MD? Or a naturopath, or what? What do you mean by three he carries? Is this guy a chiropractor? Who in the hell puts people on Pepcid? That's like a second generation histamine receptor drug. There are so many much better OTC products. Is omeprazole or the like contraindicated for you? (doubtful but possible with a hypochondriac) Have you stopped using Pepcid? Did it work? Dude, move into the 90's. If a 2-week course of one of the newer drugs doesn't help you need more medical help than a strip mall chiropractor. And methylene blue? Let's think about that. It has been researched for certain specific uses, and they are all peer-reviewed published articles. If you see any claims that do not cite published, peer-reviewed data, then you are being sold hooey. FWIW, we have used sterile, USP MB in some formulations in nuclear pharmacy as an adjunct, so I do have experience. I like the way the article Carlos cited said "May" in front of every claim instead of giving measured statistics. In fairness, he presented it specifically avowing endorsement Fucking snake oil salesmen.

Cal, I was right, sort of. The original nut was not a Ny-lock. It is a U-nut. Never seen one before. Just cleaned it up and it's good as new!

Never mind. I was installing it on the shock absorber bottom bracket bolt, when it actually goes on the RH side center stand bolt. Duh.

Does this generator have the "SwRI" logo on it? You may want to research that.

I have just installed a center stand stop (thanks, Joe!) I purchased a new bolt and flange nut because it needed to be 3-4 RCH's longer. The original nut was not a nyloc so I did not replace with a nyloc. The manual does not mention thread lock when replacing, just torque specifications. Is this just a common-sense thing to go ahead and put a little thread lock on it? I would like to finish the job and forget about it rather than obsess over it when I am on the road. Thanks in advance!

I feel you, Joe. I am about to do the same for a couple of (not that) old bikes. Sell or give away at a total loss probably. -1987(?) Yamaha DT50LC -Unknown year (90's - 2000's) Japanese mfr Honda 50 We used to have time.

Let's make sure we both agree on the squatter thing...... I define "squatter" as the reason I will never, ever own another rental property.

Hey, Scott - a quick tangent - I am in Rocket City for a few weeks. Want me to give your rental property a stealth drive-by?

Extended high speed and probably inebriated installation. Cannot fault the product, and am not going to apologize for the probable inebriated installation. It held for many many thousands of miles.

A little tangent...... I had throttlemeisters on BB1 for a few years. Lost the business side on a long 120+ mph run between Sanderson, TX and Marathon. On the way back from Big Bend I rode real slow and looked for it. No luck.
