Re: Oil Brands

Thanks guys. I did come across a place that sold amsoil. I guess i over do it changing oil every 3k. I'll have to stretch that out to 6k. Saves me a 4 hour round trip to get oil. That means More time to find new riding places!! Sweet!!

My dealer is almost 2 hours away and its sometimes hard to get there to pickup oil. Does anyone use the big name oils? Mobil 1, pennzoil, valvoline? and are you happy wit...

exhaust tone

My 02 RR is a great bike. But I think it needs a little stronger exhaust tone. Stock just sounds a little weak. What are you running on your bikes? I don't want something too loud, just a nice strong tone that sounds hot!

Re: comfortable seat

Thanks guy's, Its kind of hard to spend 4 or 5 hundred bucks to find out I don't like a seat.I'll do a little more shopping before I pick a seat.

comfortable seat

What seat do you have on your bike and how does it rate for comfort and looks? I have an 02 R with the BMW tall seat and I can't ride for much more than an hour before I have to stop. And after about 200 miles I don't want to ride anymore.I also have a sheepskin cover that made it a little bit better.

Mine did this too, and it sounds to me like pinging. I asked the dealer about it and he told me if the valves are out of adjustment it could make that noise too. Try adjusting the valves and see what happens. I know mine was better after I adjusted them.

I run Z-6's and I run 32psi front and rear.I'm 190 lbs. How many miles do you get out of the tires with the higher pressure? I got 5500 miles on the stock dunlops and 6500 miles on the last Z-6's.

My sport screen brackets are small and I don't think they would get you in a crash.I'm not sure what the touring brackets look like.

I have a sport screen and I just take the four rubber inserts out of the windscreen and remove it, and leave the brackets on.

The bottom line is to be very carful no matter what. Look 3 times before entering an intersection. You just have to watch your a$$.
