I've decided to go Amsoil for my VFR as it is one hot bugger, and the CCT
doesn't like the heavier weight oil. The GS gets Rotella T, as it's valve

That is right, the worry is if your bike has some static draw, like my VFR.
if the bike goes unused for a while it can lower the voltage to a point
where the battery will be permanently damaged as this type of chemistry is
not tollerant of being drained to deeply (nor charged to quickly). Which

to.befairly steady accross the board untill you reach 0c.
Please fact.check me, please do.y
Do some research on Lithium batteries. not all are replacements, Most of
them are designed for loss systems on race bikes, and do not include
balance circuitry. Also if I'm remembering this correctly they don't
produce the same cranking amps when cold.

These guys post engine oil analysis data, and guess what. It appears that
Rotella T 15Xw40 is not only better oil than the synthetic T6 (also a fair
amount of MC spec
Thats all i have at my store for that size... Now i have heard rumor of

Did you open the throttle over the winter or when you were starting it? I'm

ALL metals corrode, because all metals will oxidize. Water is a very good

Not all oxidation is bad. Anodizing, for instance, is good oxidation and

Exactly, a discount for desired behavior is far more motivating and

Rather than them adopting a punitive stance toward the bargain

How 'bout if the sign read:

Let the consumer decide which is the better
Of course they do go a lot faster than that.

Ron,
Sorry - $36 X 2 = $72 - not $92 / hour - but your point is valid.
I think that shops today are trying very hard not to become
boutiques that show things but never sell things - in the case of helmets
and other gear - or places that just install things with no margin on the

Good analogy

Accoding to wikipedia so take it for what it is worth they did make a 750 the
CB750A from 76-78. It doesn't say anything about a NH designation.

It's a half hour job. That’s $92 / hour. But that is not enough money for
us so we'll slap on another 20 buck fee. Suppose Eye Masters said, since
you did not get your prescription here, there is a $20 fee?

Well I've never heard of a 750 hondamatic Nighthawk either. I think there must
