• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Mobile 1 4T motorcycle oil 1st Gear SE6 clutch slipping

    you should try the mobil 1 syn 75/90 gear lube in the tranny, in my last 88, 96 and current 103 it shifts smoother than the 20/50 v twin oil, especially when its hot.

    engine oil for 998 sm5 ?

    isn't that the way we do most things, find someone and learn enough about THEM to believe they know what they are talking about, whether its a doctor, lawyer, mechanic, a/c guy, whatever, and follow their advice?

    engine oil for 998 sm5 ?

    i have read all the info i can find but the more i read the more i'm not sure, especially for the sm5, what engine oil do you run in the 998 sm5[manual clutch], that won't damage the clutch and preferably not foam like brp, and preferably i can buy at advance or oreileys.

    Must add brake fluid?

    anything anybody suggests without seeing the bike in person is going to be a guess, i have had masters leak on several bikes before, and i work on 4 wheelers which is pretty much the same brake system and i have seen master cylinder leaks a lot more than wheel cylinder leaks, if it were mine i...

    Must add brake fluid?

    if you are constantly losing fluid in 2 weeks you probably are losing it somewhere, normal pad wear won't make it go down that fast, just a guess but i would suspect the master cylinder.

    Laser Alignment

    its not a state of mind with me, its a state of 64 years of life, a worn out body from warehouse and maintenance work, and bad hip, even 10 years ago i could have ridden that rs all over the country.
