Here is the radiator cover I ordered off Amazon. $29. The OME guard sells for $159. The reviews was all good. So we will see …

The seating area is flat . On the XSR700 .

I had the dealership drop it off at my house today. No charge. New 0 miles. Still had all the plastic sheeting on it. Got $1000 off of MSRP for what it’s worth. I won’t have insurance till Monday. I’m with Farm Burea. They are different. But here she is. I got a radiator cover on order...

Well now you went and done it. I went and looked at the Yamaha YZF-R3 like you posted. I found this bike. Yamaha XSR700. I like what I read about it. It does not have a slipper clutch. But has everything else the Kawasaki has. It has the CP2 engine. 270 offset crank. If I’m saying it...

Thinking about one of these bikes. This is for back road riding. No long trips. 1-2 hour trips. I live in the foothills in North Carolina. I haven’t ride in about 10 years. I use to ride mainly Hondas. Last bike was a 919. I don’t need or want crazy speed. I love the retro look. They...

I’m still going to use 0W20. Yippee Yi Yay …..lol

I like LSjr. There I said it. I also don’t think everything he says is the gospel . Nor do I think preachers and pastors speak 100% the gospel. And especially anyone here. Hell I don’t either. As my Grandma Beall use to say “ He will argue with a tree “. We all are keyboard warriors here...

I’m not knowledgeable on Nissan Frontiers history on the reliability side. I know they are good vehicles overall. And I read on the Gen 3’s all model levels have a Dana 44 ( M226 ) rear differential. 4 wheel drive has the E locker. I have read it is beefier than the gen2 frontier . Shafts...

I can’t add to the conversation really. But grew ip with V8’s. All my dad used was Castrol 20W50. Now the knowledge about oils wasn’t out there like today. This is the 1970’s and 80’s. We had Chevy 400 sb . Ford 390’s and ford big block 427 & 428. But here is my cougar. I bought it and it...

Product I used. Amazon is where I ordered it from.

Here is the after pictures.

Ok like to say thanks for the advise and tips. I used the Bkack Magic Blech wite . Had to do it twice. Got 95% of the brown off. The dern Hanooks AT tires gave these tiny little raised lines wrapping around the sidewall. Makes cleaning them a pain in the rump. But I bought some Areo...

Thanks for the reply’s. I just got back from Walmart. Grabbed 3 bags of the Valvoline 75W90. Didn’t even see Mobil brand. They had Super Tech . I truly wanted to go to tried and true 75W140. But in the back of my mind WARRANTY. Who the heck knows . CAFE probably. But other than big...

2025 frontier with Dana M226 2WD, with 6000 miles and I want to change early. Most on frontier forums say it will be dirty. GL5 75w90 is spec for it. Do we have as big of split on differential oils as we do on engine oil. I was hoping to grab a WalMart shelf bottle or Auto parts. My Walmart...

This is how I did it growing up. Especially when white letters was the norm. I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
