The XXorcist

Thanks for the help guys, I went last night and found it... They must have been out.. cause there was a shit load of it there. I got the 5 qt. container... Went this morning to the Honda shop got me a filter and crush washer, left went too Hooters :cool: got the new oil and filter ready to ride but its freaking raining :evil: tiss ok I got a 5 day weekend coming up next week... I gots one question.. I have always changed my oil 3 to 4 thousand miles why does it call for every 8k in the manual? Thats just too damn long IMO. I will do it like I always have but damn 8k miles... thats crazy.. Dave

I looked and no 15w50.... going again tonight to make sure. Also checked a Advance auto last night and asked the guy, he said nope... dont carry it... Dave

Ok I was looking for the 15w-50 oil at my local wally world (walmart to others) They dont have it. :cry: what other weight of oil would you recommend? I plan on doing my service first thing Sat. morning after I go too the bike shop and get me about 10 crush washers for my drain plug, so I wont have to go back there for a while.I refuse to spend $30 on their oil (theiving wankers) :roll: So anyone got any suggestions... might try looking at a local parts store tonight, but still would like to know what other oil would be fine in the bird... thanks for any info.. Dave

sorry work been keeping me busy... Its 02' bird with Leo Vince aluminum slip ons I asked on another site, and was told to check if the pipes were contacting. They are only touching where they should, I dry fitted everything before tightning it all up... Dave

:?: nobody know if a PC will smooth it out some? It feels like a Harley with the vibrations.... :sad: Dave

Actually tasting it isn't a bad Idea unless it is someones spooge. Just taste it dont swallow it (the stuff believed to be antifreeze) ... besides alittle bit wont harm you.. hell you can give a kid a teaspoon before they get sick... :shock: Or you can take some and put some in a spoon and heat it up and you will smell it... (which is also poisonous) :grin: But you will know for sure. or be sick either way.. I would suggest letting your bike sit and idle for a few minutes with the plastics off, maybe she will leak some for you... Dave

I have done 215-220 before my last bar started to flash.. I normally find a gas station before this happens but when I don't I can only fit 5.3 to 5.5 gallons back in the tank... So I would be good for another 30 miles before I get too nervous Dave

Ok last week I got my new pipes on... This weekend I got too do some riding, and noticed that my bike has more vibes than before. I can now feel them in the footpegs, and alot in the handle bars :sad: I am planning on getting a PCIII for my bike. Was curious if it will help smooth the bike back out. I already got some Pro Grip gel grips on, so I imagine they are helping some.. Dave

Try here http://www.tricktape.com/subcatmfgprod.asp...&1=274&2=-1&6=1 I am looking at getting some for myself also.. Looking at the Joe Rocket Blasters or the Reactors. Call them up and ask for Shawn. He will treat you right. Tell him Dave with the silver bird sent you...... He loves me, I call him sometimes to just bullshit with him, and see how hes doing. Dave

Well, I haven't jumped right into it yet... I am starting it slow... so far I only drink water... been hitting the water cooler alot at work... Dont hardly eat anything like bread grains and what not... plan on taking it on full steam next week... As for working out.. thats no problem, I dont have a gym near me, but I am surface miner and beleive me it will work your ass over... always fun to carry a 100lb screen up 4 flights of steps... going to also start doing crunchs and stretching alot more now also... :wink: Dave

:grin: Thank you for the reply, I was hoping they had a stop on them.... I kept forgetting to ask my buddy who sold them too me.. He was kind enough to tell me too look around the net at Leo's... I should have them tomorrow morning.... he gave me an great price... $515 to my door... I can't wait to put them on.... have been dying for 2 months. they had too make them for me, Hope too be some good quality Italian made pipes... Dave

Cool deal thanks for the help guys. I am sure I will be asking alot of questions Dave

Ok I got one quick question.... What time of the week and time of the day is the best to start? I dont want to be a worthless sack of shit... (there already probably) at work in the middle of the week. Would starting on Wed. be good so you hit the hump on saturday or so? Dave

Welcome to the site.. I use to do fiberglass work, also did alittle carbon fiber work. Over time the UV rays from the sun will break down the resin that makes the part.. If your bike sits out in the sun alot you will notice the carbon too look dull, and discolored. Also heat will not help it, over time from your bikes exhaust constantly running and being shut off allowing to cool will also weaken the material. The heating and cooling will allow condensation to build up in your pipes. You burn this off when you warm up your bike on the next ride. You are seeing the water coming from the hole you mentioned... I would suggest 3 things.. 1. buy some new sleeves for your pipes.. You keep the end cap and what not, and just pop rivet them back on new sleeves.. 2.buy new pipes completely of carbon fiber if they dont sell the can sleeve itself. 3. buy new pipes in Ti or aluminum. Dave

so basically stay away from breads and cereals, basically the grain area. also leave all the sweets which I dont care for chocolate much anyway, but leave all that alone.. Dave

You know I didn't even think about modding the centerstand.. I was too worried about it hitting my new pipes.. I could very easily yank off the stand, and weld a tab on it.... :roll: forgot I use to do all the welding at work last yr.... I need to get out of the office more. :cool: DAve

Ok guys I am going to try this. I am 230lbs Wear size 38 :shock: pants. I want too loose to some of my nice gut, and hopefully get down too 200lbs maybe less. What would you guys since you have been doing it for a while recommend for a daily meal? I normally stay away from Fast Food, tastes like crap most of the time. So if any of you could give me help or hints for me for breakfat and lunch. I work out in the sticks so I carry it with everyday. I normally make the usual sandwich, some chips. crap like that For lunch. Might eat a thing of yogurt for breakfast. Might carry a bag of popcorn to munch on during the day. Will take oranges and apples if I grab one. I am staying away from soft drinks drinking alot of water. Basically need some help starting and getting into the grove of doing this. Thanks for any help.. Dave

Damn some really nice numbers you got there. I put my bike on a dyno last yr. was the most shitty day you could have done it. About 100 deg. humity was so bad made your balls stick to your legs I pulled a 131 hp. Was a shitty dyno, had no fan to blow some air for my baby to breath... I am going to get it done really soon again at a shop that has a nice setup.. Dave

Anyone???? Nobody has Leo Vince pipes? :cycle: :shoot: Dave :shoot:

After reading about the 2 bros. slip on's and the center stand got me too thinking. I will have my Leo slip on's coming this week, I already yanked off my stock pipes. Does the Leo pipes come with another bumper for the centerstand? I would hate to have to yank my stand off, but I will if I have too. Just get me a rear tire stand to do any adjusting and what not.
