OMG

Do I remember correctly that this won't fit with beetle bags? If it will I'll take it.

The problem with oil in this country is that it's out west and no one is checking on it cause all the dipsticks are back in Washington.

best bought oem or does someone else have them?

Don'cha just love oil threads. This reminds me of a neighbor back in the 60's. He would buy a new Ford, drive it till 100k and trade it. Changed the oil at 50K. So from a purely technical standpoint, with modern oil, hi efficiency filters, why change oil so often? What's the worse that could happen?

no, verify compression, verify spark, verify fuel, verify timing, only thing left is clean spark plug

the two pole SAE is definitely the way to go. I have them on all my powered equipment except the lawnmower and that is getting one this year. Hey, it's Montana, it sometimes snows in August, heated gear on the mower, yup.

Too far but there is a red one with 30k on it in Helena Mt. on craigslist $4k

Must be a Ford, my toyota has 260k and I replaced the clutch bracket, ummmm brakes too.

Mine idles uneven as well I believe it's out of sync throttle bodies. Right after I set the valves I'll add that in and see and perhaps?

both for 100? I'll take that deal

were those defective batteries from lower yuasa---- probably from upper yuasa

How many places in the world have a SR71 parked outside?

what is the small orange light in the right side fairing for?

Somewhere in the USA I presume?

I'll be doing the same soon, 60 some odd K Thanks for the info

If there is fuel in the oil it can cause those symptoms, however shifting the gears wouldn't change anything. I would be more inclined to suspect an electrical problem or as mentioned, starter drive. Perhaps a number of starts and stops will loosen things up that may be sticking from lack of exercise. Above all check the oil!

Somewhat off topic but about gas. One thing I have not understood is the price difference between grades. When I started driving gas was 17.9 cents for regular, ten cents more for mid grade and another ten cents for premium. With gas now at 3-4 dollars it's the same ten cents more each grade. Anyone know why? I know, older than dirt.

"Oxygen Thief" Best laugh I've had in a while, Thanks. Pro oiler on the bird and it works -- well so well that the nicely polished rims look like they were tar splattered but the chain loves it. All the other chain bikes get Dunlop multi-lube and the rims stay "pretty". I have not yet noticed a significant difference in chain wear. I still haven't found where to oil the BMW. The "Busa" son put a similar bottle feed on his machine for a trip to the gulf, it stopped working part way and he went back to the tried and true spray can. PITA but it works.

Hyperpro photo I like the easy adjustment via the gold dial, easy thumb control. But really, I don't use it.

Any idea how much force it takes to bend a fork? The only way to actually tell is to disassemble and check with v blocks but if the front bounces smoothly without any sticks it is probably fine. Check all fasteners. And trust that if it doesn't feel right, you may just be correct. Bearings come to mind.

PM sent I'll take it

Post shim I had my son the welder add a steel plate to the bottom of the side stand. Picked the bike up more and doesn't sink in the ground as much.

And the hair spray is the absolute best fuel for your potato gun.
