Kawasaki Vulcan S would be probably closest to an SV in a cruiser. It has the 650 twin from their normal motorcycles. My opinion: Cruisers generally suck. I would advise renting one and see for yourself before buying one. They are invariably equipped with garbage brakes, garbage suspension...

I have always thought of WD40 as being pretty much just conveniently packaged kerosene, myself.

I rode a K1600GTL when they first came out and it was eerily smooth. I also rode a '12 or '13 Road Glide FLTRU and it was very smooth, if a bit dynamically compromised. Settled on an R1200RT, and I love it, but wouldn't consider it superlative in smoothness. I cannot speak to the T-bird or new...

Originally Posted By: SlipperyPete No, it wasn't just viscosity. Castrol synthetic 5W40 and 10W40 shifted far better than Rotella as well. Shifting quality of the Catrol products, even their 10W50, deteriorated far sooner than Liqui-Moly. Even at the end of the OCI though, any of the motorcycle...

If Rotella is too rich for your blood, you may be better off selling the Rancher and buying a donkey or something. I haven't seen a JASO MA labeled oil that costs less, whether "self-certified" (never bothered me) or officially licensed and listed by JASO.

I've been known to chuck a meatloaf in my smoker while cooking other stuff. Use your favorite recipe, just cook it in the pit while you have it lit.

I just buy the frozen ones, the old Mrs T never let me down . Related to unrelated discussion in the thread, I once posted what I thought was a good value in the rebates and sale forum. The sale was at BJ's Wholesale Club. The title was BJ's. Post was immediately deleted. Mod and I had a laugh...

Here is a link to the UOA on Rotella that I did on my F800S. There is a link in that post to a UOA on the same bike with Amsoil. Both of those UOAs had one trackday on them. For that bike, I see no reason to use anything other than Rotella. Maybe a pair of UOAs after race weekends on what you...

Castrol Edge 5W20 in the Fiesta ST, seems like Edge may have had lower calcium than another oil.

Learn to slip the clutch against the back brake. This will stabilize the motorcycle greatly and allow you to crawl through feet up full lock turns.

I test rode a K1600GTL when they were fairly new to market. Dealer had a sweet deal on their demo model.Fantastic engine, fantastic platform, but a little too Buck Rogers/George Jetson for me. Never thought that an engine would be TOO smooth. I ended up liking the R1200RT better. NB: the...

For deadening, I really like knukonceptz kno knoise kolossus edition: http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/sound-deadening/kno-knoise-kolossus-edition/ Really good stuff. Much better than Hushmat Ultra that I have used. Deadener will help with resonance, but for actually blocking the sound...
