If you go before the magistrate, you are supposed to be presumed innocent unless the officer has proof. His subjective, albeit trained, opinion should not be given weight beyond your DOT approved speedometer which is probably 10% over estimating your rate any way. Of course, unless you are a...

My Gs500F gets Shell Rotella 15-40. Would have no problem using 5-40 Rotella T-6. You can use just aobut any quality 10-40 as they typically are NOT EC and would meet MA if so tested. Do what you want. NOW the important stuff! BE CAREFUL removing and replacing the fasteners that hold the filter...

DuPont TriFlow and DuPont Silicone/Tefelon spray is very good for cable lube. prs

I only have one MC that still uses chain. Although K-1 does a great job, it is a PIA to use on a chain that has no master link. So, I use WD 40 in aerosol (hey, maybe I should subcontract with some outfit to put K-1 in aerosol cans). WD 40 works well to loosen the grime and float it out of the...

This could well be a whole different thing, but for GoldWing GL1800 use, Metzeler seems to be the most prone tire to delam and bubble. Some GL18 riders do report them as their fovorite; but the consensus is that the Bridgestone is the best all around, followed by Avon Cobra, then Metzeler, then...

Gee, you will really throw a hissy when they recommend 0-20! prs

Either would do well. Given the temps in which a same person would ride, 15-40 has you covered for cold starts just as well and I see T-6 as being on the viscous end of the 5 grade anyway. The makers state 10-40 becasue they know that will help you avoid oils heavily doped with moly that might...

I use a basic Bull Dog for the lift and PepsX for a work stand. prs

I understand about variation in viscosity among different brands or even lots. I suppose if you were to plot a graph for viscosity as temperatures change over the entire range, you might notice different non-linear plots for different brands of same grade. I think the T-6 I have been getting is...

I entered this part of the forum to report my recent experience and noted the current posting with lots of response where the outcome was good. I use T6 in my equipment, my motorcycles, and in my Toyota Taco V6 PU. Very pleased and this is topic is my first gripe with it. 5W should be 5W...

There are also special chains made for such dirty work, but I prefer full chisel ground round for easy hand file touch-up if dirt is encountered. Before storage, clean the saw as if it were going back on the retail shelf. Run a bit of stabilized fuel through it and exhaust the fuel supply...

"O" ring roller chain is lubricated internally with a grease; once that grease is gone, the chain is toast. We clean our chains to fight surface corrosion and to get teh grit out before it cuts the "O" rings. Diesel, K-1, and WD40 will all clean well, but for me, teh WD is way less offensive of...

I prefer the commercial grade straight shaft types. Stihl, RedMax, Husky. The quality pays off when they still run like new 20+ years later with hard use. prs

When using such products, I add it a tank or two of fuel ahead of the scheduled OCI. Actually, I am about there now. prs

I had a Merc 90HP outboard with oil injection, maybe 1984 or so and kept it for years, nephew still runs it. But, we initially had difficulty in getting it to re-start when hot; like you go to a spot to fish and then soon after try to move to some other spot. Plus the engine was pretty hot, the...

We have one intersection that after a re-pave job a Sherman tank would not trigger. I got stopped after crossing it after a full ignored cycle. I told the officer that I thought the "Right on Red IF Clear" law applied. He stated I went Left. I stated I went RIGHT ON THROUGH. He laughed and then...

I have a Suzuki GS500, A Honda VTX1300, and a Honda GL1800. All three specify "regular" octane fuel and all three run just dandy on it. prs

There was an amateur study of WD-40 exposed rubber chain "O" rings on the GS500 site, but my search there just not failed ot turn-up a link. I recall that study showed that even prolonged exposure did not swell or deteriorate the ruber rings. Neither did K1, but some other solvents did. In my...

The T-6 5-40 "might" be a horse of another color. Its new and UOAs are few so far. Shell's site mentions it has less VII because of a new base stock that thickens less in the cold making the "spread" between 5 and 40 actually less or some such hocus-pocus. Any way, with less VII it should be...
