I have an ST, too. As I recall, the UK owner's manual calls for WSS-M2C948-B 5W20, so it isn't a recommendation that is unique to the US. I haven't used 5w30, but doubt it would cause a problem.

I keep a slip on wiper in my pocket. It works well when there is excessive slime in the road spray or speeds are too low to keep the shield clear. http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-veewipe-squeegee.html It isn't essential gear, but is nice to have in certain conditions. Never felt compelled...

Excellent. Thanks for sharing that.

I visited Autoworld for my birthday...

That's pretty gross, but I still like Waffle House pretty much anywhere.

I enjoy a mule. You could really get down a rabbit hole experimenting with different ginger beers and vodkas. I'm thinking to make one using Ole Smoky Blue Flame instead of vodka in the near future. Not tonight, maybe this weekend haha.

This is probably the only place on the internet where this discussion has taken place

I used Amsoil on mine. http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/grease/x-treme-synthetic-food-grade-grease/?code=GXCCR-EA

With a stash like that, I could see the attraction. I'd probably put the stash on Craig's and buy the recommended stuff, though. We have a 2014 ST with mountune MP215, fun car.

Thanks for the heads up on these! As a prior Thruxton 900 owner, I've always had a fondness for the Triumph twins. This new generation looks stunning, and should be a real hit. The Thruxton R is particularly tasty.

Dry teflon lube is what I have seen specified for that point in other forklift applications. Often times with a "DO NOT GREASE" stencil nearby.

37 mph on the back half is ridiculous! I ran next to a bike recently that ran an 8.43 gaining 29 mph on the back half. That bike was sitting at a bit longer than 57 inches...

Pretty wild. Jeremy Teasley throwing down a 1.58 short time with a stock swingarm may be yhe most impressive part, haha. Relevance to BITOG: Not much, but Alisyn oil is called out

I'm just gonna leave this here...

Motorcycle Consumer News did a comparison of leather conditioners a bunch of years back and Lexol was a top pick of the bunch that they tested. I was a mink oil man before that, not that you would want to use it on your seats, haha! So I'd keep on with periodic application of the conditioner of...
