It has been so long I can't even remeber the last post I did, probbably 3-4 years ago. Life (mainly my job) got in the way and free time spent on forums became scarce. A week ago I found an old FZ6-forum T-shirt, and I thought of everyone here. While I won't be as active as I once was, I...

That is really impressive! Most Odyssey's are know for very weak and problematic transmissions. A friend went through 3 in 120K miles.

Most reliable: 1998 Nissan Altima SE 5 speed, bought with 27k on it and no issues until 177K miles when a timing chain guide broke. I bent 12 valves, Ouch!:banghead: My current car, a 2011 Accord EX 5 speed, has also been trouble free. Bought new and 22k miles later and only 1 dealer visit...

I flushed my brake system after 2 years. My bike spends most of the day parked outside at work. While most brake systems are weather proof, some moisture will make its way into the fluid. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic, it absorbs and holds water, changing it on a regular basis is a good...

The holes on the injector are very small in order to atomize the fuel. Yes there is some static pressure in the line, but not enough for more than one fire on one cylinder. The injectors will not really allow fuel to drip from gravity. Remember the ECU tells how long for the injectors to be...

I had to bump start my bike twice. Once was sucessful, the other time did not work. The time it did work, the battery was not totally flat, I had turned on the key to check the time during a stop and did not turn it back off. Half an hour later, the gauges worked and the fuel pump ran, but...

There are many reasons companies specify a specific idle speed. Oil pressure, coolant flow, manifold vacuum, etc. Setting it to 1000 rpm is not likely going to cause any harm. Yamaha may have decided the 1250-1350 range is the minimum to get decent intake air swirl to get complete combustion...

Never, unless the only publically owned team in the NFL offers shares to raise funds from fans; one of the things that makes my team so cool. 12 - 0, and the Packers have won 18 straight regular season and post season games. Nice! Tough league though, with San Fran at 10 - 2, New Orleans, New...

A nail biter of a game. What was up with the missed 43 yd FG and the dropped passes? If you have extra cash to burn, the Packers are going to sell shares starting Tuesday morning. $250 per share, no dividends and no value increase. Not exactly a smart "investment" but how often to you get...

Ah, bummer... I had my hours cut back about a year ago, had to pick up a second part time job to make ends meet(which is why I have not been super active here lately). You are not alone, many have lost their jobs to this crummy economy. I wish you the best of luck. Losing employment (and the...

I usually use Purolators Pure One filter. Either PL14610 or PL14612. I usually hunt around for sales. Although I have used the following: Napa Gold (WIX) 1356 Amsoil EAOM103 Bosch 3400 (IIRC) Super Tech 7317 Fram Tough Guard TG7317 I am not a fan of the Fram Orange can though. I...

Huh, I wonder if VW is having timing chain issues on the 2.5l I5? Co-workers 2006 Rabbit also lost the timing chain. 74K miles. I guess it needs a new engine as some valves hit pistons and actually broke off and lodged in the head. She said it was going to be around $6k:eek: After hearing...

Wow, I would not even know where to begin planning a trip like that!! Each state has something different to offer, which is a very good thing. Wisconsin has many great roads, but you have to look for them. Southern, western and northern WI are great, but the eastern part got flattened by a...

I know how you feel. This show used to be great, lots of vendors selling unique stuff, motorcycle manufacturers with full model line to sit on. That and the price of admission keeps on going up! in 2007 it was $12.50 to get in, and it was a kick a$$ show, the crowd was huge and very cool...

I started small, 70cc, and I was also only 14. Any 1980's UJB will be fine, cheap to buy, easy to fix, and insurance is cheap. A older 750 will have well under 75HP and will be easy to ride. I crashed when I was younger, most seem to go down at some point, and the older bikes were much...

Went to the show in Minneapolis on Saturday. Big disappointment. No Triumph, KTM, Ural or Hyosung. Nice displays for Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda. HD's display was pretty good too. The BMW display was what a dealer had brought, only two Guzzi's and three Aprilia's. The Ducati area had...

So sorry for your loss. 4 years ago I had to put down my Golden Retriever. Sadie was 10 years old and just stopped eating one day. Took her to the vet and found out she had stomach and intestinal cancer. Vet gave her some steroids so I could have a few days left with her. I had two before she...

PACKERS WIN SUPER BOWL 45:cheer::cheer::cheer::BLAA:

In the early 1990's Yamaha actually built a super car. It was called the OX99-11. The whole car was designed and built by Yamaha, including the V-12 engine. OX99-11 – The Yamaha Supercar Yamaha also did the heads for the first SHO v6. I loved the sound of that 3.0 V6, reminded me of...
