Use dry air, it's lighter. Your gas mileage will improve.

Pure hydrogen has better cooling properties and is lighter than air.

Clutch Oil Replacement

Back when I was in Diesel engine school many... many... many... years ago we were taught the importance of properly servicing the "Muffler Bearings".

Please don't forget them ....

It makes a big difference to keep the brake and clutch fluid clean. Invest in a vacuum pump like a Mighty Mite and have at it. Clean DOT 4 fluid is best $3.50 you'll spend.

Back in the day we use to send the "new guy" for the purple board stretcher.

My dad owned a company selling prop wash to the airline industry. When they switched over to jets he went bankrupt. It was a sad day. :(

A missed opportunity - he could have started selling jet wash.

Clutch Oil Replacement

Listen, I need some help, seriously!. I took the comment as sincere about the turnsignal oil. I checked and all of mine were bone dry so disconnected the battery (I am no dummy, I know there is electricity floating around inside those lights) then I filled all four lights ups with fresh oil. I hooked up the battery and turned the bike on and all my lights do is cast shadows now??? I checked my other accessories and the only thing the radio does is listen.... I am beside myself, what could I have done wrong??? My wife was being a smart a-- and said I must of hooked the battery up backward but that is rediculous.......isn't it?

Please don't tell me you used synthetic too early!!!!!! The light bulbs in your signal lamps probably were not properly seated yet. :-/ :-/ :-/

I seen that line used on another forum and i thought it was pretty clever and humorous, so I used it. it did make for alot of fun comments. For the new members the smite/exhalt numbers mean nothing. they can be changed at will at headquarters. This isn't a popularity contest. :-)
