That is so awesome. I have a grandaughter who is 4 years old and is more loving than any of my boys were. When I saw the pictures you sent, it reminded me of a bible verse. For you have formed my inward parts; you have covered me in my mothers womb. I will praise you. For I am fearfully and...

If it's really hot and I'm in the mountians I just dip my mesh jacket in a cool stream, and your are good for about 20 miles. Doc

I just put 41K on my 06 this last weekend, I keep on using 10-40 Amsoil, shifts great and runs cool. Doc

My hobby would be to go on long bike rides so my wife can't do add -ons to the honey do list. Doc I live in a condo so the to do list is very short.

This is a good question. I would say, stay with the weight the mfg suggests. I use 10-40. Having said that the brand of oil on this forum varies as much as to which version of the Bible should you use, NIV,KJV,NKJV or whatever. As long as it's JASO-MA rated, the oil not the word of God. It's...

Get some. That was my first purchase. I'm short on one end so I've dropped the bike, you'll be glad that you did. :cheer: Doc

I have a question to put to the floor. First I'm no mechanic, I would be a bit concerned that if you put a T section instead of a Y could you get a bit of unwanted back pressure that you could damage your valves ? My wife calls my bike the other woman ( I would have to agree with her ). If I...

Nothing is wrong with this video, it took a lot of work to make it. Personally I'm not one to cut a wire if there is another way. I'm a BD43 fan when it comes to the dual headlight mod. It's a bit more work, but it's a lot cleaner. Good luck with your mod. Doc

When I started to ride again I got the biggest bike I could,06 FZ6. It's taken me a bit, but with a lot of practice with cones you can buy at Walmart or you can use tennis balls cut in half just practice. Ride like a Pro has a good web site, Captian Crash is good also. A newbie mistake is to hit...

I did my first oil change at 500 miles, I have 40k plus change now and I use a syntheic oil. I'm a Ams oil man. I have tried several different brands but always go back. For me it runs cooler and shifts better. Doc

Almost always, I just installed a Garmin Zumo 550. It has a blue tooth, MP3 and a sat radio. It's pretty nice to be able to take phone calls when ridding around and to listen to music too. When spring comes I'll turn on the sat radio for a few months. All in all the Garmin with a Autocom works...

If it was me, I'd replace them both at the same time, so the tires will wear evenly. Someone here on this site who is much more fluent in explaining things could give you a better detialed reason why. The opinion on which tire to use is as vaired as what oil to use. I have Pilot Power 2, they...

I love oil threads, I'm always open to see what people use. I have used alot of different brands of oil but go back to Amsoil. I'll probably give rotella a try again because Amsoil is getting too expensive. I'm at 40K miles and the bike still runs great. Doc

Good call on changing the oil after a short interval, keeping the oil clean is a good start. I have never heard of parts of the filter being suucked into the engine, but I'm just the small town chimney sweep. There is a lot of information on the oil thread site. For me I'm a Amsoil man. Good...

I do belive that red is faster, it's called redshifting. Blue is at the other end of the spectrum. :spank: Doc

I'm not real good on math, so if the owners manual calls for 2.96 qts of oil and you put in 3qts, that is a difference of .04 of a qt. There is 64 tablespoons to a qt. So .04 of a qt is ? Not much. I tried to convert to ml and came up with 37ml, still not enought to worry about. Just add 3 qts...

Oil is not that expensive to replace, I do it often with a good filter. I feel that my bike is worth it. I'm Amsoil man, the bike runs cooler and shifts better than the other oils I've used. Doc

I have a 06 and I use Amsoil 10-40, as good as it is and if you only put 2000 miles a year I'd still change oil once a year. I only live a few miles north of you, PM me and if I can figure out to read it lets meet up for a ride to Baker or Winthrup or wherever. Doc

Google, it's easy to search from there. Doc

I honk, just possibly maybe if there is a next time maybe he/she will look twice before turning in front of someone. ( I have an air horn, it will wake them up ) Doc
