    2021 Kawasaki KLX300SM

    I got this a few weeks ago, can't stop riding it. Did the first oil change with the OEM filter and some Valvoline 10w40 at 120 miles. Will do another one at 600 with some synthetic. It is hard to not have fun on one of these.

    2017 Suzuki SV650 ABS

    I just got this bike on Saturday. Compared to the scooter I have been riding, it is absolute heaven. I have been giving it a more robust break in than the manual calls for, so I changed the oil out at 55 miles with conventional Valvoline 10w40 and a Fram PH6018. The used oil shimmered in the...

    Over-tightened spark plug on scooter...

    I was changing the spark plug on my Genuine scooter, usually I go till hand tight, then a quarter turn. I got it hand tight then when I put the wrench on it the thing felt pretty tight, I gave it a little juice and it seemed to kind of break free and I went way more than a quarter turn, but it...

I got some Motul 300V 4T Competition Synthetic Oil from a friend that had to get rid of his bike, and had 2 4L jugs left over. He just...

    2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i

    I just pulled the trigger on one of these things. I already have a stash of QSUD and M1 AFE 0w20 that I have acquired at cheap prices for the Mazda I used to own. So after the first 3k free change at the dealer, I'll be set for some time for many 5k to 6k mile OCIs. Looks like the Fram XG7317...

    2014 Genuine Hooligan Gear Oil Question

    I recently just got a new Genuine Hooligan 170i. This is my first scooter, I am having a lot of fun riding it around, seems like a great machine to hone the basics of motorcycle riding before moving up to something bigger and more powerfull. So far I have 248 miles logged, and soon it will be...

    Found a decent deal

    Went to a Walmart in a town near mine that I hadn't been to in a long time. I glanced down at the discount shelf and there were 2 bottles of QSUD 0W20 for $17 each. So I bought them without hesitation for my Mazda 6. I found the same deal at a different Walmart about a year ago. In the meantime...
