    Oil question.

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Another question.

    Do you change oil in the spring or fall?

    Some say that it is best to do it in the fall, and some says they do it in the spring :icon_scratchhead:

    When do you change oil on you're bikes ?

    RR dead? Black smoke and burnt wire smell?

    I removed the cowl and the regulator looks a bit discolored? It's stinks like burnt wire!

    There's also some dark spots on the rear foot bracket.

    I'll post up some pics.

    Don't forget, just about anything mechanical/electrical is like doing brain surgery for me. I get frustrated way too fast, especially when I have no clue what I am doing.

    thank you all for the help/assistance.

    Typical on older Hondas with no coolig ribbs on the RR.

    Change it and the battery.

    Bridgestone BT-023GTs

    Forget about the GT for the BB. It is far too stiff.....

    I sold a set to a BB-rider a few weeks ago. He insisted (against my advice) on the GT's.

    He replaced them last week by the tyres I originally suggested to him (Dunlop Roadsmarts), and now he's happy again (told you so...).

    The bike was much too bumpy, and could not give enough grip on bumpy roads.

    My 'bird came with Bridgestone, and I hated it.

    The rear slipped when downshifting hard. :icon_shocked: Twice...

    If it was cold and wet I would expect it, but not on a hot sunny day.

    Changed them to Roadsmart before they showed any wear at all.

    Never again BT's.

    I'll change the oil and filter on my 3 bikes this fall, and I got a good offer

    on Amsoil full Synthetic Motor Oil 10w40.

    Shouldn't be a problem using it on the Bird, Wing and Fazer :icon_think:

    Anyone had any problem with this brand?

    Peg lowering brackets.

    It made a big difference for both me and my girl.

    We're both over 6'

    I lowered the shifter, but didn't do anything with the foot break .

    And took of the feelers on the pegs.

    Ruth sold the XX and bought a FZ6 FAZER .

    I grinded it a little bit and it fitted the Yamaha :icon_biggrin:

    Minor tip over...Need new LH mirror for my '99!

    Burned twice? Right through your pants and everything?

    Nope, just burned once (edited the original post for clarity). I was wearing shorts, stupidly, for a quick ride up the island. But, with the way the bike went over, my calf ended up on the pipe for a few seconds.

    Thanks for the link!

    Still a little loopy from the Darvocet.

    Avon Storm Failure on sons XX

    Avons are good for one thing.....

    SMOKE SHOWS!

    :icon_twisted:

    Avon got the worst reputation of them all.

    Wouldn't put them on the bike if I got paid to do it.

    Avon we call avveien (off road).

    Drive with Avon, and bike is bye bye in the first twisty.

    When someone drive off the road, the first question is if he has Avon on the bike.

    Brent's Motor rebuild

    but so far so good everything went smooth and im excited to see how much power she makes...

    how much?

    should be around 400hp @ 20lbs and pump gas..if i run race gas 35lbs should be over 550 but its completely pointless to run that much boost

    i get her this weekend she is finally someone complete...possibly a video too

    Have you reinforced you joints, or are you expecting them to pop every time you hit the gas? :icon_twisted:

    Instant wedgie :icon_biggrin:
