Ok, Thanks

There are only 3 models of chains 428 in the catalog of DID, two without o-ring and the other is the VX, and the latter comes with a master link: Is there any another brand that sells 428, but high quality? Thank You.

On Saturday while I doing cleaning and lubrication to the chain I found that there were two o-rings broken and that part of the chain was looser than the other. The sprockets are in perfect condition. I will change the string by a superior quality. My question is about compatibility between...

Yes, I know the sound is there (valve clearance), but some oils seem to dampen it more than others, and at this point of my life I want a smooth ride I read on the website of shell all has to do with the type and amount of viscosity improvers used. says: "Shell Advance motorcycle oils, AX7 and...

Well, I got the shell advance ultra the last Friday, and yesterday I made the change. A couple of observations. The oil is made in USA, and the dealer told me that it is cheaper and has better quality than oil blended in Brazil. It is almost colorless, and the smell is very fruity (like almonds...

The liter of synthetic oil costs 13 to 20 dollars here (20 costs the 300V). The shell dealer told me by mail that within two months the Ultra will be available, at this time sells AX7 (semisynthetic) to $ 13. All really expensive.

The last 500 kms I have been using the motul 7100 20w50 oil in my fz16 (4500 kms on the odometer). The shifter is a pleasure compared to motul 3000 20w50, engine feels smoother and have noticed less vibration in middle and high rpm. In Uruguay it is winter, and it's very noticeable difference in...

Sorry (boxing gloves out!) Both bikes has everything standard with "some" kilometers...

94 MPG (40 Kmpl) in my FZ16 (evrerithing standard whith 4300 Kms) 122 MPG (52 Kmpl) in my wife T110C (evrerithing standard whith 1200 Kms)

Try the motul chain paste. For me is the smartest chain lube right now. No sticky, applies faster, and you will not loose the half of the lube in the air/floor. And is a great lube...

Ok, thanks

So, the fact that the additive package decanted into the bottom of the bottle is a myth?

It's a short question. I want to try in my beetle an HDEO. Good thing, I found two good oils, Rimula R4 and Delvac 1300, but the bad thing is that is only sold in drums of 20 liters. My air-cooled Beetle only holds 2.5 liters (8 oil changes), and changing the oil every 2500 km the 20 liter can...
