This winter i put on a new RK chain and Driven sprocket kit..well i decided not to clean off the lube that came on the chain due to me being out of chain lube to replace it, so i also decided not to wash my bike till i had that lube worked in and the excess slung off. BIG MISTAKE!!!! i dont know what kind of lube that was but it took me 3 hrs of srubbing and degreasing and srubbing more and kerosene and more srubbing to get it off my wheels frame and swing arm, what a mess. Does anyone know what it may have been ? I dont want to make the mistake of putting anything like that back on, that stuff was like tree sap.

i like the chin lower too..im undecided witch i like more,,,i thought about putting a chin on my TL

This.. ^ sorry I assume everyone knows the SV comes without fairings. I just got them so i was sharing my good news..

yea i knew that just didnt know it that was what was new on yours...looks good, did they come color match or did you have them painted?

what are them?..i am unfamiliar with your bike, whats new?

Nice Scoot..i like the color sceme

just another example of how good we have it here in the good ol' USA

Thanks for starting this thread btw because I'm learning about many people.

I thought it would be a good reference thread for a later date...guess i should have invited everyone not just sport bikes

You think a TL is a sport bike.

It takes someone old and senile like me to ride one...but i love it..i just get up in the morning drink my fiber pop a prozac and off i go:wheelchair:

iv been in a tornado before and i must say its kind of hypnotizing i didnt even think about the danger.. i was aw struck by the power and magnificence..afterwards i had the thought "why the hell didnt i take cover"

this answered my question but there is still noway

Q: Do I need to remove my chain or belt?

A: No, just make sure you put your bike in neutral “after” it is strapped on. We do recommend you check the manufacturer to make sure your bike can coast long distances without causing damage to your bike. Have sold many and have not heard of any problems from any manufacturer to date.

think i read somewhere that they recomend you remove the chain before towing..... talk about a pain in the ass

nothing but field and a hill side behind me...somtimes i have cease fire to let a cow pass..lol

This has been just sitting on a shelf since i bought my current one.Size XL. Is in good codition not all scrtched up or anything id give it a 7.5 out of 10. Only thing wrong is i dropped a wrench on it once and messed up one of the vents on top, but its hardly noticable unless you know to look. I have 2 sheilds for it a clear(almost perfect) and a red iridium (has a long scuff on it from being in a back pack). The inside is clean(im not a dirty person)i dont smoke, i dont chew. You can get these online for around $50 so i thought i d offer it a half that $25 Its worth more but im not looking to make much just clear the shelf and offfer to someone that may need it. Im in fredericktown/knox county

^ this.. My 650 is a super fun bike that I learned on. Plus the 02 and under are carbureted. V-twin.

not the 1000 they have been FI since the intro of the TL in 97...im not sure the 650 would be a huge step up from what he has now, not sure how big of a jump he wants to make

an asshole one.

thats 90% of them isnt it?. thinki iv only been pulled over once in 20 times when i thought the cop treated me with repect that i always convey to them, and yes that one gave me a ticket too, so dont think he let me off and that is why i liked him. I'v had one that said that they are giving me a break i thought were pricks

good luck..just take her easy on the hills, and dont use overdrive..i forwarded this to my buddie i thought for sure he would jump on it but i guess not

You sir would be a cool guy to know.

damn im feeling younger by the min....ive been on sports bikes since 20, almost 15 yrs ago?..damn i feel old again

keep a eye out on a suzi SV...they are really a under appeciated bike IMO..and can usually find one at a good price here is a example http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/2271490407.html

sure your not 2?...

Ok im offten refered to as "the old guy on the sport bike" to some guys that i talk to from time to time that dont know me personally( i do look older than i am). I know im not that old, i'll be 35 in July. I was just curious as to how old some of you other sport riders were.

i got more enertainment out of the play by play from the Guido...LOL...but i like to ride to left lane too but i also get over when i see a faster car aproching, but there arent many

too chilly to ride for my taste so i went in the back yard and sent some brass flying..i unloaded about 200rds of 9mm...50rds 45acp..150rds 380auto...800rds of .22..and 20rds of 7.62x54...now i have some guns to clean:cry:...but it was VERY therapeutic:D...just wish i had some clays and shells
