  1. Lock it up at least one person has no reading comprehension skills and can not understand the reason for the rant. And quite honestly is starting to piss me off.
  2. Hope the weather plays nice this year, as the last two have been a little wet or cold!
  3. This a false statement... 90% do not say ship same day if ordered by a certain time and then ship two days later. How the hell would you know my shopping habits? its ok of you want to accept false claims or subpar work and just accept it, I am not made that way.
  4. What were the circumstances during the slide? Cold? Wet? Age and wear level of tire? Just curious for future recommendations. I have only heard good of the Commanders and my Dad runs them and loves them.
  5. Michelin Commander II will fit the bill quite well if made in you size. you could get a way with 120/70-17 on the front which would open you up to any sport touring tire out there, which would be way more grip than what you have been running. Do you know what the front and rear rim width measures? Bridgestone T30 Michelin Pilot Road 3 or 4 Dunlop Roadsmart II Pirelli Angle GT
  6. Engine ice makes no actual claims to running cooler, only may run cooler. I suspect they would not because it's made with propylene glycol which has less heat transfer than ethylene glycol. Those who see major improvements probably removed old coolest which had lost efficiency do to corrosion and evaporation over time. coolent should be changed every two years or you run the risk of corrosion and diminished heat transfer capacity. The real claim is being safe for the environment. This topic is like oil and political threads, people have very strong opinions. Maybe it's the $20+ price tag per bottle.
  7. Did you bleed the system at the water pump? Kawasaki's have a habit of trapping air in the lower part of the cooling system. Personally I would go back to stock or the old Honda Green standard. Have seen engine ice and water wetter quickly corrode an engine...they just do not have the inhibitors that regular coolants have.
  8. I am in. Have lots of suspension tools that I can bring just let me know what you need. Once food is sorted I will chip in for that also.

    Welcome! NEO I assume?
  10. You and sprocket are not getting it. They say ships same day if ordered before a certain time. Putting a label on it and it setting in the warehouse or truck is not shipping. Plenty of other online stores who say ships same day actually ship the same day, like clock work.
  11. Not new to online shopping. if you run a large ticker with a countdown timer on your site that says ships today if ordered before said time, you better ship it that day.
  12. Have ordered from them twice and twice I was well before the ship same day time frame. Both instances they did printed the label which shows as shipped but did not actually leave the warehouse until two days later. i called them on it, and tried to argue that they shipped same day, until I told them I called ups and the tracking showed not being picked up until two days later. Their tone changed and started apologizing and making excuses. they ended up refunding me 25% but this will be my last order with this shitty company. There is a reason why I have normally used Dennis Kirk over the last 25 years.
  13. I would not accept any of what you listed! Comes back as good or better or they get it back to do it right. When you accept shitty work, they think there shitty work is ok.
  14. You will not be disappointed.
  15. Brian will do a great job, but if you are just flashing an otherwise stock bike Ivans Performance is the only place I would take an F series Yamaha.
  16. Because half the country is on assistance.
  17. Good luck with sell! nice ride
  18. Suspension before motor More bang for your buck and it will transform your bikes handling. If you can swing it; fork springs, fluid, and rear shock will be a major improvement over OEM setup. You do not have to buy a spendy aftermarket shock, most of the time there is a direct swap from a better suspended bike available. If you want more you can always upgrade the stock fork cartridges (Traxxion or Race Tech) or completely replace with aftermarket. Anymore I recommend getting an ECU re-flash because they can remove all of the shitty EPA crap (fuel cut), low gear power restrictions, speed limiters, and secondary fly restrictions. This will have more impact on drivability and perceived power than any piggyback can give you. A power commander will only help with adding/subtracting fuel if you add a full exhaust. Don't get me wrong it will help, but the flash is way more bang for the buck.
  19. The price is worth just having it in the garage to look at and listen to. Sexiest sport bike period!
  20. Kroil is great as stated above, but 50/50 solution of ATF and acetone is by far the best. For your current problem chase the threads.
  21. Yes! There were 10-20 mile sections that we averaged well over that. It was not smart and I do not think anyone other than our leader was that kind of highway rider, but we all followed like a bunch of squids.
  22. This is what worked for me. was not going to tell you the first answer was wrong...I have enough hate coming at me. With your Jedi like hate, I would cease to exist.
  23. Your response is always defensive and you act as though the case is already closed and dismissed.
