Over my riding career I've used (in chronological order) Golden Spectro Yamalube Duralube Maxma super M back to Yamalube and now Mobil 1 MX2T I can't help but feel like I'm cheating my bike by not giving it premix from the $tealer. I know the Mobil is good stuff and it's a real treat to...

I rode my dirt bike for the first time in 6 years last weekend ('95 KTM 250SX). I replaced the fuel, gearbox oil and cleaned and oiled the air filter. Now, that rusty crank thread has me worrying. I didn't do anything to it other than turn the fuel petcock off before I 'stored' it. I bought the...

Would it be possible to make a homemade pressurized brake bleeder by... Taking an old master cylinder cap, drilling a hole in it, use an air tight fitting and attaching a hose to it, and attach that to a pressurized bottle held upside down full of brake fluid, the cracking the bleed screw...

I went camping last weekend and ended up sleeping in my truck. The engine idled all night. There also was Iso Heat in the gasoline. Would the extended idling cause significant oil dilution? I changed the oil (with 1500 miles on it) just to be safe (and ahhh well, because I'm a BITOGer).

I have a MAkita 4 1/2" grinder that makes a lot of bearing noise around the head. Is it possible to lube this, and if so, with what?

What would you use if you hand waxed your vehicle once a year? I don't really care about shine as much as durability, and it has to be readably available at a local store.

I've only used Castrol GTX since my vehicle was new. Never any other brand. Would it be beneficial to switch brands to get a different add pack and maybe clean out something left behind from always using the same oil?

We always hear of how Toyota and Honda are tops in reliability, but nobody mentions Nissan. Where does Nissan fit in terms of reliability? (for that matter, Mazda too?)

I need some help from the BITOG experts. I'm looking to get rid of some lingering mildew odors from a small flood. I've been doing some reading on ozone generators, and was wondering if they're 'snakeoil.' I've settled my choices down to the C.A.P. OZN-1 ozone generator seen here...

Does anybody know what type of air filter they use on the Paris Dakar vehicles? 500 miles per day through all that abrasive dust must be he11 on the filters.

I'm thinking about starting to run HDMO in the bottom end of a two stroke motorcycle. Is there a classification I should look for when choosing an oil?

I have this pressure gauge http://www.secureperformanceorder.com/onlinestore/getproduct.cfm?CategoryID=10&ClassID=149&SubclassID=718&ProductID=2831 and it reads 2 psi when it should read zero. I use it for ATV tires which need 6 psi so 2 off is a lot. Is there anyway to re-calibrate them...

I'm trying to switch everything over to the same coolant. Would using Toyota red in a motorcycle and atv cause any problems?

I just bought a Honda XR80 that's sat for the last 18 years. I'm picking it up tomorrow. I bought a new air filter (I figure the old one has deteriorated), I'm going to change the oil and gas, and probably pop off the float bowl to clean out any crust. Is there anything else I should do before...

I've been thinking about getting a used pool table, and all the cheap(er) ones say I'd have to pick it up and move it. I have no idea how to do this. I assume you dissemble them somehow. Anybody ever move one before?

A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and left her, hoping she would be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed okay, but after a while she...

I took my truck in for a dashboard rattle that was covered under warranty (and a TSB). After waiting 20 minutes for them to pull the truck around to the front (I left the truck there earlier in the day), I got in and found a screw in the cup holder. I told the service manager who called the...

There's a slight rattle/squeak in the ashtray area of my Tacoma's dashboard. I think there might be a technical service bulletin on this but I'm not sure. If there is one, I'd like to have it in hand when I take it to the dealership. Are these things available anywhere?

My truck is a real dog when the a/c is running. Does anybody know how much horsepower it takes to run it? My seat of the pants dyno says about 40 HP.
