    How To: Cycle the ABS Pump

    First Off, thanks for all the info guys, Needed to do brakes badly, because I haven't been able to ride for a while due to inflamed foot / achilles tendons that take forever to heal. Short story is the brakes were WAAAY overdue for a bleed. Anyway, Something I noticed that I would be grateful...

    As Cheech probably said.. This is Good Shit Maaaaan.

    Because it starts off slightly thinner (About 6%) so the oil gets around the engine faster at startup. Its about the same as 10w-40 when the engine is warm, which is 99.9% of the time. Its actually a few cSt thicker at high temps. (14.7 Vs 14.4). Not really any big deal. It was the fact that...

    If you don't want the history. https://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/mc-4st-5w-40-100-pao-ester So ages ago, when most of you were still in Nappies (Diapers for you 'Mericans) I decided I would stop my habit of using Motul and go on a hunt, as men do. I slowly went mad in Oil forums, where I...

    Helite Air Jackets and others

    Re: Airbag jackets (hit Air, Helite, etc) I have been riding with a Hitair Medium Mesh for about ten years now. It WAS blue, it's now sot of a purple grey colour. At least I don't look like a poseur anymore. :D http://www.hitairaustralia.com/jackets.htm#

    Tenere Tragics River to Ranges Run 2016

    Excellent. So Tell me more about that Mud (TT-8) photo. Did the crossover lines survive? It seems Maria handled the big 1200 OK as well. ::022:: :D ::003::

    Honda Africa Twin Specs Leaked

    The CLS has a dial you can turn up to 11. ::018:: And if you leave it there THEN you may end up with oil allover everything. But when ridden in normal slab usage on a dry day you turn it down to 1 or 2. It counts engine pulses to give it an idea to tweak the oil up and down a bit as well. (it...

    Honda Africa Twin Specs Leaked

    Now there's two.. :D Before I used Scottoilers Or the last bike a CLS, I would have said the same. I still agree with the part where the chain just goes down hill fast once it gets there, but the amount of Km I got from the first RK? chain with an oiler was huge. I sold the bike with 75,000K on...

    so was part of the attraction 'being different'

    No. I had a bunch of things that over the years started to annoy me about different bikes. Rode a few, picked the one that solved most of the annoyances.

    Question I get asked a lot: Why the S10 vs a GS. Whats your answer?

    Engine characteristics Gravel / off road road handling. Build quality. Comfort Peace of mind. Better value. Better standard suspenders. (2011)
