EW!

For some reason these sets of ***** left a bad taste in my mouth.

Welcome and nice bike! Wish my dad was cool like that to leave me a bike.

 

You can do that? I thought once you go synthetic you can't go back.
Just curious

 

This was one of the best quotes I've read in a while. Is your tattoo from the cover of The Stand? Welcome.

 

I like posting pictures.


It certainly is. I've also got a right shoulder sleeve with various wizards and dragons.

Here's the back



Some more random-

Don't ask-



Me and the kids-

As long as it is the same weight not an issue..

Really with the improvement in oil technology in recent years, the only reason to run synthetic in non race vehicles is if you want to extend your oil change intervals or if you are running in extreme temperature conditions. On my cars I go double the dino recommendation with synthetic and on my bikes I go about 1.5 time the dino recommendation with synthetic..

Of course my Corvette synthetic is the factory recommended oil, and the computer on the car tells me when to change.

 

DK is a great place to get parts. They have fair prices and good selection. I have got parts from them before and have been very pleased.

 

Interesting. Good to know. Thanks for the info!

 

Ok, gents, going to finish this up in the next few days.

Put a new battery in it yesterday and new fuel lines. Today is plugs, wires, air filter and checking for loose bolts. Friday is registration, gas, brake pads and finally firing it up. Saturday is trans oil and oil and filter. Sunday is sawing on the woodpile. I also found out it's not a 1989, but a 1990.

Now, the only problem I've found so far is that the blinkers don't blink. Pushing the button, left or right, only makes the TS light up and stay on. Is it the flasher relay ding dong thing and is it behind the headlight?

I have a question about something on it and will get a picture posted later.

 

Ok, all put back together and here it is-





Some questions- Is this the oil drain, located in the frame? It has a hose going into it on the backside.



What is this thing?-




It was 1 1/2 quarts low on oil, I told ya my old man wasn't much for maintenance.

 

+1 on DK: If order > $100, Free ship. Returns are super easy at ~$7. Not always lowest price. If you can find it right here, and you are quick, folks are real kind. Hi-5 on Your new ride, its nice, I especially love the curvy bars and the speedometer on the tank. I'm a Mainah too, near the thumb of Sebago.
