If you don't have the chain oiler yet check out the Cameleon plus oiler. I love mine. It automatically adjusts for more oil if it senses off road terrain.

many times the internals are not tight so they are not aligned and this causes misalignment. Canyonchasers.net has many good instructional videos and shows you how to tighten them up. I use a fat shafted phillips screw driver between the chain and the sprocket. Then I use the chain markers to...

It's helped clean up rough running engines for me more than once. It can also clean up the oil side of the engine too. Have a sticking ticking hydraulic lifter sea foam can take care of it. Since I started using it my carbed engines don't have a problem after winter storage. So I will keep...

Seafoam works wonders.

Hi Afan, If you are riding aggressively and attacking the corners on roads like the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, or many of the roads in the Appalachian mountains or in SW Wisconsin you should be using both brskes and engine braking. It won't hurt your engine one little bit. That's why they use a...

I'm on a trip with #3 daughter and we ran from the Isais storm. We were in Northern Georgia and North Carolina. Taking shelter at a friend's house near Lancaster, PA. When the storm passes we plan on heading for the Catskill mountains and Adirondack Mountains. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-N960U...

I might put #3 daughter on the back of the wing and go that way in two weeks. Maybe I should look you up and stop and say high somewhere in Idaho... Been to Glacier a few times. last was back in 94. that time I went all the way up to Jasper too.

the only downer of this garage time was when Afan had packed and was within seconds of leavng when he wanted to open the Frunk. It wouldn't open! I know we put it together correctly and snapped the cable in the holder so it wouldn't pop out. You could feel resistance when the key was turned but...

Three NC's seen I was at the Pine Bluff, Wyoming Rest Stop on I-80. Just returning from Utah where I dropped off my daughter at BYU and her NC700X. Went in to go to the restroom and when I walked out I saw parked next to my truck 2 NC700X's and 1 NC750X and an Indian Scout. Talked to the folks...

looks good... Especially doing it with rattle cans and spraying outdoors.

Why, you won't remember the fund by the time you need it!

when my daughter and I rode over the Million dollar Highway (from Durango to Ouray, CO) she got 87 mpg, all over the west she was in the 80's 3 times and high 70's. Dropping your speed as you have described is a major factor. low wind and lower humidity also helps.

I would stay in CA and ride there for a while. if SF means San Francisco (I used to live in Marin County) you have some of the BEST MC roads in the country. When it stops burning I would start to explore there. Get a copy of Destinationhighways.com Northern California book and map. Well worth...

Here you go the best price as of a couple of weeks ago was here. KIJIMA : Engine Guard [405-231] The u-bolts are stainless steel so you need to put anti seize or some lubricant on the nut or u-bolt when you tighten it otherwise it will Gall and you cannot take them off. I had this...

That was me. Don't have to take take the bar off. Just remove the top U-bolt so you have room to remove the plug to see engine crank position. Make sure you put anti-seize on the U-bolt threads as they are stainless steel and will gall and you will not be able to unthread (remove) them and they...
