Oil is the blood of a motor but for the life of me I can't read that much about motor oil, which does a better job of lubricating and when to change it, all I want to know. Probably why when I do research something about oil and keep seeing the same thing, winner winner chicken dinner!!

Yeah, don't see anything on how to change the air and coolant temp either. Read the section and it just says, USA Fahrenheit and Canada Centigrade.

They're bumper rub strips made by the Japanese auto/bike accessory comapny "Fizz" that I bought real cheap last X-mas in a trip to Asia.

Found them a bit too short to use on my car, so I had an idea and put them on my tank to protect the paint on it. Little did I know it had a second function of providing grip for my kness on the tank and suddenly I'm steering the bike less with my hands but leaning the whole bike instead. Something I never felt on my 4th gen as it's very narrow at the tank, so there had always been kind of a "disconnect" with the bike. Last two rides with the rubber rub strips on the tank were some of the best I had with my bike as I feel more connected to the bike when I lean it over. If you do get one for your bike, make sure it has a rubbery/tacky feel to it wo it has traction against your pants knee area. The bonus is it also protects the paint on the tank against wear from pants with rougher texture like ones made from heavy duty cordura. It also is an alternative to the clear dimples tank gripster tank covering that does not look that great on some bikes. I ha e another set i can add above the first one to provide more gripping area, but so far, one strip on each side seems enough.

That bike looks like it just came from the showroom floor!!

Sounds like a great product, but have to ask you one question. When they design these bikes they know around how much power is going to the rear wheel and they put components that can handle that much power and a little more. With this supercharger the bike is going from around one hundred horse power to one hundred fifty horse power, that is a huge increase. Am by no means an expert but from what I have seen all the RR sport bikes do not have a single side swing arm and even in some brochures they mention dual swing arms are needed to handle the horse power. Sounds like a great product but these question should be asked, especially on a vehicle with only two wheels.
