  3. Also, I just use a big circle marking jig between the axle bolt and the swingarm bolt. Precise, fast.
  4. Why not just stick a straightedge on the chain. Why would a laser be better? And for that matter, why couldn't it be any laser that lays down a line, like the household laser levels for walls?
  5. I agree. I was a 100% Ford whore, but found that the Dodge had more things that were important to me, and the Ford had clear defects for me. So I switched. The Jeep is its own thing. There's nothing else like it. At the same time I've advised two friends to get something else based on their stated mission. For me, there's nothing else I'd remotely consider. I think Dodge cars are garbage and we hated every single one we sat in when we were last car shopping (ended up with the BMW).
  6. Man, you gotta catch up, traded that back in 2013. Or maybe you mean the Jeep, which I guess is sort of a Dodge, but technically not really. And yes, I got the sarcasm.
  7. On which side of your leathers do you wear your dick? I move it before each ride to keep tire wear even.
  8. I'm trying to upload a virus over a 300 baud modem onto a Hi-8 recorder right now, BRB.
  9. I think I kicked the spring on a previous stop, because the center stand and side stand are too close/interfere. I'm going to weld a foot lever onto the side stand.
  10. Note the post times, most people had no issue. A specific error message would be most helpful in tracking this down.
  11. Last night my chain was warm, TPMS said tires at around 100 degrees, and the kickstand spring got so hot it jumped off the bike.
  12. I think applying it to the chain as a spray is not an issue as compared to applying it on a rag. Either way, you're using the solvent effect as a cleaner only. I think it's *possibly* a bad choice because it leaves a film that may then reject the actual lube.
  13. And who knows, maybe swelling is GOOD and keeps dirt out? Dunno. We can be pretty sure the carb cleaner and gas results are bad though.
  14. Also note that I just very flatly stated the results, I do not have any opinion on whether such a tiny change matters. Just posted for everyone to make an informed choice. I'm going to stick with chain cleaner because it's still dirt cheap to buy a bottle once a year.
  15. Sorry, it was advrider.com, found it in my history. https://advrider.com/f/threads/chain-o-ring-wd-40-exposure-effects-study-and-results.345397/
  16. Good to know. FYI, Revzilla did a test where they found that kerosene had a small but measurable swelling effect on the rings.
  17. LOL, I moved it to the garage where I intended to post it, and where it belongs.
  18. Oh, also, I'd recommend the one I used, because the original ones posted in this thread have shady specs that can't really be true. They might be great, but any time someone fudges specs I assume they can't be trusted.
  19. My bike had the rubber seal, and I think all vehicles do. You can mod it, I chose to discard it. The headlight fits into another plastic cover, and that's behind the windshield and instruments. I drilled a bunch of holes, and figured that was going to be safe enough. It was the procedure recommended by the importer of these bikes.
