Been using it for about a year now. I have a number that people can call in. Works great as long as the internet is not too spotty. I have used it over sattelite connections offshore, and as long as a web page will load at all, even very slowly, Skype works well. If the internet cuts out at all...

Autozone's Coastal 15W40 HDEO. It did a fine job as the rinse oil in my GL1800. Gave good protection in spite of 2% fuel dilution.

Maxima Chain Wax

I finally put the RLI 5W40 in the GL1800, as well as the Burgman 650. Shifting is better with the RLI than it was with the Coastal 15W40 I had in it before., which was MUCH better than the 10W30 Honda oil that was in it before that. In the Burgman, I put it in the engine and in the seperate...

Yeah, kinda funny. I have an EAA in my Honda Gold Wing. I'm sure there are far more Honda cars on the road...

It is not Ok to mix DOT5 silicon brake fluid with any other fluid. If you are talking about Valvoline Synpower though, it's a standard, though high quality, DOT4, all of which are synthetic, and fine to mix with most any DOT3/4 with. That said, why are you "topping off" brake fluid? If there...

Should take about a year. I'll be riding the Wing instead of driving, as much as possible, plus taking trips. I'm hoping to move to the San Francisco Bay area soon though. Year round riding there as well...

I started with manual and have been driving them for over 20 years. I still kill it now and then. I've not killed a clutch in almost 20 years. The thing that kills clutches is slipping them. What kills transmissions is hammering them. You have to go for the middle ground. The secret to taking...

Of course, YMMV... I bought a set of cheap lifetime warranty rotors at Autozone form my 1993 Olds Cierra. The price was not much more than machining them, and I've had little luck with machined rotors. The OEM rotors were warped badly. I feel due to not using a torque wrench or stick to put the...

I have seen several transmissions, which were shifting fine up to that point, have catastrophic failures after pan drops or flushes. Some had even had routine services before that, with no problems. I've seen way more have no problems, but it does happen. My theory is that the fresh fluid...

I'll be running the Rotella as a rinse oil, for 1k, then switching to the RLI. I'm shooting for 15k or more on the RLI. I just want to see what it can do. Terry suggested I use the 5W40 and we'll go from there.

Just got the bike so I'm unsure what is currently in it, but I'd assume a 40. I'll be running Rotella T 15W40 for the "rinse" oil. I'm unsure yet what I'll be running yet. I'm sent an email to Terry to get his suggestion.

I'm planning to run RLI Biosyn in the GL1800 after I complete my AutoRx treatment. I'll be running an EAO oil filter and an EAA air filter and attempting to see how far this oil can go. I've been doing a lot of searching and Terry had suggested that a Harley should use the thinnest version...

I ran up 16,000 miles on my Focus before rotating. I did not measure the tread depth, but just looking at them, I figure I had used up about 2/3d's of the tread on the front tires, while the backs had too little used to notice. I'd guess the fronts would have hit the wear bars at around 22-24k...

I figured it out for myself.

Yeah, it wouldaben...

In comparing this car to the 335i, keep in mind that it is about $4k cheaper than the sedan and $6k cheaper than the coupe. Yes, it understeers stock. I'd be shocked if it were otherwise. There are very simple ways to fix that... That said, I just saw the post on the 135d possibly coming to...

Ooohh, think I'll wait for this one instead of getting a 135i...
