Thats crazy.

It's fuckin wild to me that those EFI bikes will kill plugs so easily, my coworker's 300 will do the same shit if he lets it warm up.
clean the screen in the tank too? That ones caught me before
Not something done to my motorcycle itself but something motorcycle related....
Built a hitch mounted rack for the back of my car so I could use it to go riding. Secures the bike via the pegs and the platform is attached to a trailer jack to lower
Yours is waaay nicer than my shitty attempt out of scrap I had in my garage.Not something done to my motorcycle itself but something motorcycle related....

I knew someone on here had similar. It must have been yours I had some rough inspiration from. That and a random Tik tok. The first try was exactly like yours but the tires were too low to the ground. Didn’t want to risk them hitting so that’s where the trailer jack idea came from.Yours is waaay nicer than my shitty attempt out of scrap I had in my garage
The heavy amount of viscosity modifiers used in that 0w probably won't last long in a bike - it will shear down to something thinner quickly than what that upper end 40 implies. That looks really dirty in the sight glass. By comparison the oil in my SV (basically same engine) looks new after ~2k miles from the last change, that was only a dump and run too, didn't change filter.Great idea. I'll steal that.
Oil/filter change with this oil that was on clearance for cheap. Shifting is smoothest its ever been. I thought other oil were smooth but this takes the cake.
Probably won't last 2500 miles though lol. After 160 miles ridden
Do like as well. Mind posting some details/plans? Sorry if I missed it.I knew someone on here had similar. It must have been yours I had some rough inspiration from. That and a random Tik tok.

If I were the sole person to have worked on this it would have been way more hack. Most ideas like this my dad and I get it close and then bring it to my grandpa who was a machinist and let him tweak on it for awhile.
If I was doing anything other than a kids moto, the jack would have been the way to go. Super good idea.Didn’t want to risk them hitting so that’s where the trailer jack idea came from.
I can take some measurements and better pics later today and post them up. It was drawn up on cardboard and then just trial an error. The main measurement the whole thing was based off of was just the height to bottom of the frame. So could vary based on the hitch height you’d be looking to set it up on.Do like as well.

Yeah I figured it wouldn't and use it during cold riding temp. I think it was $2 each quart. I'll mix it up with other oil on my next change. I change filter every 3rd as wellThe heavy amount of viscosity modifiers used in that 0w probably won't last long in a bike - it will shear down to something thinner quickly than what that upper end 40 implies.

Yeah, went there for the first time a few weeks ago. Spent hours getting that clay off the bike…559Fj40 is that picture loaded up at Carnegie?
