    Kawasaki FR730V 230 cca supplied battery

    I noticed in the Kawasaki engine manual 550 cca battery required. Seems strange, because that is what some cars require. The battery from the factory on my Husqavarna TS354XD has a 230 cca batt. I think it is a U1. I just wonder how Kawasaki came with the 550 cca in the manual? I feel the...

    Discount Tire rim maintenance

    Seems Discout tire is into grinding down the rim mount flange. Where it bolts to the rotor. This is supposed to remove corrosion on rims. I told them one time in the past not to do it, but they still did. They use a fairly course 3M Roloc disc. I think they are trying to mitigate vibration...

    I would like to use an alternative to the Motorcraft fluid. I believe it takes motorcraft XT-11-QDC fluid? I have seen reference to Amsoil 5w-40 European oil. Or Castrol Syntrans FE 75W Gear lube. I guess it is supposed to be a MTX75 transmission that has been around for awhile. Preferably I...

    Ford Fiesta opinions

    I made another post about the Focus. Considering the Fiesta as well, auto, or manual trans. Those who own, or have driven one please tell me what you think? Using for commuting for the most part. But if the price of fuel goes way up, I'll feel a little better. Considering the 2011-2014 ish...

    I am thinking of getting a Focus in that year range. Want to know what others think of them that own/or drive one. I'm probably leaning towards a sedan, because of price. I'll be using it for commuting, and general driving. I was considering the Fiesta, but I think it's a little small if I had...

    My brother passed away this morning in his sleep. I did not go to work, and tried to console my mom/process the whole thing. He had been abusing pills for years, and also did not eat a very healthy diet. I'm surprised he lasted this long frankly. He just turned 56 about a week ago. He had an...
