    Searching for a classic/vintage bike. Help me pick one

    Kozman011: A friend of mine just posted on facebook he's selling his "garage kept" 1978 Kawasaki KZ650 for $800 firm. Color is green with 21,800 miles. I believe he's original owner since he said he's owned it 41 years. A nice classic 4 cylinder 4 stroke that's only 2 hours north of central...

    Searching for a classic/vintage bike. Help me pick one

    I'm a Harley Davidson guy hands down. But back in 1982 I purchased a 1971 R75 BMW with a Windjammer fairing and rode the day lights out of it for a few years! It was a dog performance wise, but super reliable and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another retro boxer engine. I have no idea though on...

    Another oil change by time or mileage question

    I would go with what the owners manual says, change oil at least once a year. It's cheap insurance. My 2016 Harley Davidson FLHTK Limited oil was change almost a year ago according to my records. I usually go 4 - 5,000mi between oil changes. 2020 and covid-19 has put a damper on my riding this...

    12 Tacoma Front pads/rotors (pics) change now?

    Today my parts finally arrived. Pretty straight forward with new rotors, pads & calipers. Then I bled the brakes using my Motive Products bleeding tool. Something told me I should of bled more fluid than I did since I had new calipers and I was right. First test drive brake pedal felt a tad...

    12 Tacoma Front pads/rotors (pics) change now?

    I almost pulled the trigger on Akebono pads and Advics rotors before I choose the Raybestos Element 3 set up. This 2012 Tacoma was my prime mover the last 7 years until this spring I bought a new 2020 Subaru Forester. Plus in summer months I ride my touring Harley-Davidson more then anything. I...

    12 Tacoma Front pads/rotors (pics) change now?

    Quick update: The right side rotor & pads/pins came out with a little help. Left side top pad pin came out fairly quickly, bottom pin didn't want to budge! Used impact driver, penetrating oil & grease plus heat to no avail. So after 30 minutes I just pulled caliper off then removed rotor. I do...

    Authenticity of DENSO Iridium TT

    For grins and giggles these are 4 Denso Part No. 3421 (SK20HR11) that I just changed in my 2012 Tacoma that I purchased new in 11/2011 now with 98,382 miles on them for a comparison. The only difference between these used OEM and the new NAPA plugs were: the OEM were stamped Japan. The newer...

    Authenticity of DENSO Iridium TT

    I recently purchased 4 Denso spark plugs Part No. 3421 (SK20HR11) from NAPA only because I wanted to eliminate the fear factor of fakes. Paid almost $4 more per plug than Rock. My factory box they came in is a little more fancier than yours shown. Still made in USA with foreign parts. And yes, I...
