At one time Snap-On was my favourite, obsession even, but due to their prices here in the UK I was compelled to try other brands. Now, I buy on merit and value for money. My tool inventory now includes items from most of the quality brands, so Facom, Stahlwille, Williams, SK, Geodore, Wera...

Google it.

Which ever you choose, make sure it's a motorcycle specific lubricant because it needs to be compatible with wet clutches.

Thanks guys. I use Honda long life coolant in my Mitsubishi Evo and it's excellent.

It just says ethylene glycol type with 40% distilled water, which is no surprise. What I'm trying to determine is whether a bike specific coolant is better than a generic automotive coolant, and, which of the bike products is best.

Have a look at Hagon of the UK, they list a shock for your machine at £299.50, link :- http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/catalog/partdetail.aspx?partno=M66023 Not sure how much shipping and import taxes would be to the US. They are a longstanding company with an excellent reputation and products...

Not sure if this is the correct place for a coolant thread, but it is a bike related issue. Need to change the coolant on my MV agusta and don't know if motorcycles have specific coolant requirements and therefore a specific coolant type. So, any advice and recommedations would be appreciated...

My motorcycle oil of choice, after researching lots of data sheets, is Penrite. They seem to be the only Oil manufacturer that sells a genuine group V synthetic motorcycle oil. Being an Australian company, they have a grasp of high temperature issues. I use the relevant grades in all my bikes...

Fram have always been quite a big brand here but their Ultra range doesn't seem to be available. UK consumers aren't very savvy about oil and filters etc. The performance market is but it's quite a small % of the market.

The important factors in specification are motor power and FAD, free air delivered. Tank size is an almost irrelavent consideration. Next is duty cycle. Lots of DIY puffers are rated at 3kw, but for how long?! If duty cycle is even provided in the spec, the small puffers will rarely have a more...

Found a Champion ref. F305 but Fram don't have an equiv! Typical!

GB is indeed Great Britain. It's bikes though, I don't know the common part #'s for all of them, soz for that. Shouldn't be a factor though, unless one or more may be unavailable from a given manufacturer. I'll cross that bridge as and when. We can start with my 2005 MV Agusta Brutale 750S...

Fram??!! Really?

Haven't been here for a long time but I've started to use my bikes again and I need to get upto speed on oil and filters. What is the consensus on which are the best engine oil filter brands? I've had a trawl on youtube but most of the contributors don't really know what they are looking at or...

Restarted with add on's disabled, didn't work. Also the bookmark window didn't open when show all bookmarks was selected.

Ok, it is 19.0 and I've discovered how to restart without add on's so I'll give that a go. Thanks so far guys.

Have just tried to discover which version I'm using but can't find it anywhere? How do I restart without add on's ?
