I just changed the oil in my R6 today. This weather is killing me! I need rear turn signals to ride... I'm thinking of getting the Hotbodies under tail. Good? Bad? Anyway... My opinion is that oil does not go bad with age, it goes bad under compression/use. Think about it... If I change my oil fresh in the fall and put my bike away, It should be good to go in the spring. Right? What difference is it if the oil is sitting in my engine unused/fresh, or sitting in the jug at the parts store unused/fresh? Comments?

Fuckin' thug. <sarcasm><b>He sure is a real man. </b></sarcasm>

Hey mang... I didn't read anything but the 1st few posts but I'm leaving in a second so I have to get this in... ANY way you go, your going to have to take the pan off. I would drill it out smooth the next size up, re-tap it, and put the next size plug in. No big deal. You will get shavings in the pan no matter what you do, that's why you have to take it off... Even a heli-coil will cut shavings off. I've done it on my civic... No big deal... I saw a guy drill one out once with the pan on and re-tap. No leaks. BUT, he thought that the oil filter would just catch the shavings... Wrong. Oil filters have a spring loaded valve that lets oil pass under high pressure... Do it right... If someone already said this... Sorry...

Oh yes... I have a GPR on my R6 because of a bad tank slapper I had one time... I had to go right home & change my underwear... Basically the front end comes off the ground under heavy throttle ( be 1/4 inch or 1 foot, or full wheelie) and when it comes back down, its not aligned properly throwing the bar around... The damper will allow you to "stiffen" up the bar and prevent very quick left and right "jerks"... Allowing you to lessen the effects of a miss aligned front end, and re-gain control of head shake/tank slap faster... Here are a couple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ1srcQMa_0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AMvAsh_MRM

I wave at everyone. I hate to dog on Harley riders, but those guys will look right at you waving, and turn their heads straight ignoring you. I've made a point to flick off a couple in the past. Like they don't want anyone to see them waving at someone less macho than them, er something... Sportbikes and other types always wave back.

I always go through the drive through... McD's, (sometimes) but usually BurgerKing. If I am passing by a White Castle I'll go there every time though. I'd never go there for lunch but they actually have good breakfast sandwiches, and their coffee is the best out of all the fast food places. I always get an egg & cheese on toast. It's not like McD's greesy McSandwich. Its actually real toast, with a real egg, just like you would make at home...

I use the ones for shooting as well... They have a hole in the center with a diaphragm that lets some sound in. Casual speech passes through but sounds above a certain DB are blocked. Like these: http://www.lapolicegear.com/suep3sodeear.html & http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/sonicvalveii.html I have used earphones for my IPOD. I even have a double backing Velcro strip on my bike so I can control volume and forward songs. (Yes it works through my gloves.) But, I realized that I had to turn up the volume to overpower the wind noise. So I had the wind + a blasting IPOD which I'm sure was doing harm. When I pulled up to a light, the sound was so loud it hurt.

oh man... Like the guy you see driving down 71 talking on the phone and eating a burger... Who's driving?!?!?

Dang.... He got what was coming to him though.

+1 I can only speak for Mid-Ohio and another place that rhymes with finds, and blinds... I will go back to Mid-Ohio for anything I need help with. Those guys know what their doing. I will never go back to the other place for service, ever. Myself and 2 other friends had horrible service work done there. 1 friend had his carbs synced there and to this day has never run right...

HAHA!!! As soon as I read that, I thought of this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi6N5Iyqfwk

Running on its own at 5000? Weird throttle? ...Kinda sounds like a vacuum leak. Maybe heat from running sealed it back up. Keep an eye/ear our for revving at stop lights (at normal operating temps) without touching the throttle. Just a thought... sounds like my buddies YZF1000..

bwahahahahaha

I'm in... http://www.youtube.com/chrisknight000 Does anyone here brew?

I enjoy IPA's an American pale's. Harpoon IPA Bells Pale Ale Columbus Pale Ale Red Hook ESB & my house IPA. Away from the Pale's I like: Bass Newcastle Dogfish Head Brown & my house Nut Brown Ale Learn to brew, watch my how-to videos: http://www.youtube.com/chrisknight000 The most popular videos are the 1 - 8 on All grain brewing, and the 1 - 4 Kegging...

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking chrome... For those true Google app diehards... I used to use Konqueror. Then I found Firefox was much better. Konqueror... Because gnomes Epiphany sucks. Blackbird, that's one of the most ridiculous and damaging ideas I have ever heard of! Especially in these modern times. When will people learn that those ideology's perpetuate segregation, and even racism. Blackbird, providing another subliminal inkling that you are different.

I ride an R6. 2 hours is about the longest I'll ride one way/shot. I find that if I "squeeze" the tank a bit with my legs it helps out on the lower back...

I bought a CF bulb at walmart when they 1st came out. It burned out in a month. So, I bought another thinking it was just a fluke... It burned out in a month too... Never bought another.

I know I would be screaming like a little bitch! Has to be fake...
