No one's mentioned Valvoline VR1 Racing 20w- 50 dyno (?). When the mileage on the clock gets up a little more, I'm switching to Mobil 1 15w-50 syn.

I've chosen the centerstand option whenever conditions allow. Someone told me it places less stress on the front suspension. Don't know if that's true or not.

Wow, I had no idea I was in such distinguished company. My first thought after it happened (after the "oh chit") was to go tell the only people in the world who would give a damn. Your respo ...

This is all I've found so far. Judging by some of these stories, I guess it could've been worse Shocked

Had a clear landing zone except for the tire vise lying on the floor up front. A couple of ...

I wanna throw up. I just dropped my bike in the garage, backing it off the lift...alone Embarassed

It fell away from me, and all I could do was watch.

I had literally just finished fixing some drop ...

Thanks Duck. I have some Permatex Ultra Grey which should work. Speaking of the Hall Effect sensor gasket...I'm sure its the original, but it looks fine. OK to reuse it?

I've searched the site and can't find the answer, so here's a question:

From a design standpoint, why is there no gasket on the timing chain cover? Mine has the "weeps," so I've removed i ...

To this already extensive list I would add a headlamp, like a Petzl or Princeton Tec. Its nice to have both hands free. I also carry these 5 in. arc joint pliers:

Kipp, I'll chime in here since I have two of them at the moment. There are some things I like better about my 93, but when all is said and done, I'll be selling it and keeping the 96. Can't say which ...

Shog, I removed the runner on my 93 to snap a pic for you, and found the part lying loose. Obviously, I didn't have it in the proper place. My 96 is opened up for maintenance, so I went over and began ...

I had the same "mystery part." Nice to know I wasn't the only one Embarassed

Definitely comes from the right side. I found a place where it "fit." Sounds like the same area Duck's refe ...

I have the Dual Sport on both bikes. The 93 came with one, and it fit my butt like a dream. I liked it so much, I rode to Hollister and had them put one on the 96. The new seat's not nearly as comfor ...

Drake, I see you're getting pounded up there right now. If you can find a way out that doesn't involve a raft, the weather's delightful down here (comparatively speaking). Haven't tried a heated vest ...

I smoked a pack a day from Nov. 2002 until July of this year. What would make a man pick up smoking at the age of 44? Why, an ex-girlfriend, what else? Long story (a drop-dead gorgeous redhead), but I ...

Hey Phil,

Haven't been on the site in some time, so forgive me for jumping in late. Really glad to hear you're in one piece and on the mend. I always try to have a car in front of me to run interfe ...
