They billed me two months in a row for the same product but they was good about fixing it though.

Nope. That is what was on my bike until yesterday. Now going with 014 Bridgestone front & rear.

At Wal-Mart tonight I saw that Mobil 1 has a new 15-50w out. It had a gold cap. I wonder if it has any nasty crap in it for our bikes? Maybe on their web site it might tell us something. It was $23 something. I just went to their site and here is what is says: What is the difference between Mobil 1® Extended Performance and the currently available Mobil 1? Mobil 1 Extended Performance formulas are designed specifically for today's longer service intervals and are guaranteed to protect for up to 15,000 miles or one year. Mobil 1 Extended Performance has a unique formulation with boosted level of protection and performance. These formulations with the Advanced SuperSyn System contain 50 percent more SuperSyn, 36 percent more anti-wear additives, and 37 percent more cleaning agents than the current Mobil 1.

Yea, I gave up. On the sidewinder site, I think you have to call them to order. Chaparral and others had them listed and when I called, they don't carry them anymore. One thing I just can't figure out and really burns my buns is, why do they make steel sprockets in 45 and less teeth BUT they don't make 46 or more. What is so hard about adding one more tooth? 44 but not 46. :evil:

I had a 85 GT Mustang that I put a full exhaust system on (headers to tailpipes) and it would backfire when you backed off the gas. I removed the smogpump (air pump) and it stopped. I'm thinking it's lean.

Last week it was $22.42 Last night it was $19.97.

The 1000RR has a 6" rim with a 190. Don't know if it will fit the XX though.

Rich, how does your Yosh full system compare to the slip-on Yosh in the sound department?

I just looked at the front of a Mobil 1 bottle and it says that it is Fully Synthetic.

Nik, ride around in fifth gear. That's about what it feels like. If I rode alot of highway miles, I would stay stock.

That's what I think too. Always hearing about troubles with FI bikes while the carbed bikes just keep on running. :grin:

Thanks Dr. Joe.

Has anyone ran a 15 front for very long? I heard that it was hard on the chain because of the tight bend. Would the chain adjuster have enough room?

What did you mean by fit, lenght?

My F-250 had a recall on a valve that would go bad and do that. Mine never did but I had the recall work done. The recall said that if you had two full tanks and it did that, it could push the fuel out the filler cap. :shock:

Joe, just for the heck of it, I would put a new distributor cap and rotor on it. I had the same thing happen on my wifes car. I didn't find it for a while. When it happened the second time, I put a new cap on it and it never happened again and that's been about two years now.

Please tell me they are not starting that crap? The car testing is a big joke but bikes!!! :evil:

Take it easy on him guys. He is new here. :grin:

Yea but you live in Pa, so that don't count.

What about the weight of the valve stem? I thought that is why you put the lightest point of the tire to the valve stem.

Don't know as I only dealt with the sports.

If you balance your own tires, the Michelin Pilot Sport doesn't have a balance dot on the tire. In my mind, that would make it harder to balance. I'm going to try the Bridgestone's new 014 but I don't put on high miles.

What is it with you people and the prejudice bias against reflectors? They just want to shine. They are not some aftermarket things but real OEM pieces. So, lets not pass judgement since there is a place in this world for everyone.

Everyone can do what they want but I sleep better after changing my oil. :wink:

That is why I always buy a manual for any vehicle that I own.
