    UserCP, Edit Options, Messaging and notifications area. You have probably selected "automatically subscribe to threads that I post to".

    I use Mobil 1 Racing 4T for motorcycles and have used it since 1999. I am not saying that it is the best but I have complete confidence in it and will continue to use it. I also have heard nothing but good things about Amsoil and have no doubt that it is probably as good as Mobil 1. I hate hearing over and over though that all these independent tests have proven that Amsoil is the better oil. I have yet to see evidence of such "independent" tests. Every one that I have seen was actually funded by Amsoil.

    Sometimes I think that a FEW clucks is about it.

    Never would have worked out. She doesn't speak Canadian. Only English and Texan.

    I want to thank both of you for keeping this relatively civil. It appears that some feelings were hurt and I can understand that but it sure seems that it was not done intentionally. Donating 5% is a nice thought and though appreciated, is certainly not necessary. I can see that Gary does feel bad about it and Tim I hope that you can see that too and accept the apology that has been offered and that this can be the end of it. Hopefully you can both take this to email or private message if things are still not settled but I you are both to be commended at this point.

    I don't know of any standard filters other than those from Yamaha. Some have switched to K&N Filters. They are a little higher than stock but can then be cleaned and re-used.

    Personally, I never change oil grades. Never have and see no reason to.

    Well, I'm not sure WHY they sent extra ones but I seem to remember something about them being spares for the CB Antenna, where you adjust the SWR at the stinger.

    You can delete your ad or mark it sold. Marking is sold will let people that were interested know that it was indeed sold and then it will automatically delete in a couple of days. Go to your ad and then at the upper right will be a link that says "Product Options". That is where you do it. I understand but please see this thread for the downside.

    OK folks. Finally got around to taking a couple of pictures of our new Mascot. She is doing very well. Acts like she has been here forever and seems happy to have a good home. Goes to the vet on Wednesday for a good checkup but all is well so far. Here she is sporting her new VentureRider bell. Not 100% sure on a name yet but it looks like Eileen is leaning towards Lucy or Annie.

    The way it is set up right now is that you must be a member to post after your free trial ends. Non-members CAN read all posts but cannot use the search feature. I think it's a good compromise. It just seems that we would want folks to be able to read so that they can see what a great group you all are.

    Yes they will. Sounds like a good deal.

    You are asking me to believe that you need HELP to get into trouble? I don't THINK so.

    I use Mobil 1 Sythetic Gear Lube. Very pleased with it.

    Yea...I haven't thought it all the way through yet. At this time, I'm not removing them if they are registered. We still have a few joining all the time. If somebody wants a name that is already taken though, I will generally try to contact that member first and find out if he or she is OK with me re-assigning the name. That is what I did for Dano. That name was taken. I contacted that person and he told me that he had sold his bike and didn't plan to get another one anytime soon.

    The Mascot is doing fine. She even has a VentureRider bell hanging from her collar. I'll tray to take some pictures later today. Brad, don't know for sure where I'll be in Michigan but will give you a call if I'm close by.

    Got home from Minnesota around 11:00 last night. Really glad to be home again and am ready for things to get back to normal. Weather was fantastic there and it would have been great to have had my bike with me. Oh well.... Home for the weekend but then have to get on the road again. Probably somewhere in Michigan next week so that's not too far a drive for me. Have some updates and etc. to do on the site and will probably be doing that on Monday evening after I get checked into a hotel somewhere. Nothing major, just some security upgrades.

    You've got them Ken. Really sorry to hear this and we will keep her in our prayers.

    About 1500.

    Also, did you install the small restrictors? Mine doesn't bounce around much but it will if you don't use the restrictors that they send.

    I think it would be interesting. I honestly don't know how they would compare but would like to find out. I do have both done to my '99 and will be willing to compare them the next time we get together if we can find a good place to do it.

    I agree that the rev limiter and gearing are the primary difference between the first and second gens. Just add a Dyna 3000 Ignition module to take care of the rev limiter and a VMAX rear to correct the gearing and it will solve those issues.

    I agree with the corrosion. I've seen several of these bikes with water in the turn signals. Usually the left rear for whatever reason. I've seen them so bad that there was no salvaging the sockets and they had to be replaced. Check them all for water and corrosion.

    What version is not working for her? I downloaded the new 3.5 version and it would not work at all. Lot's of problems. I went back and downloaded 3.0.13 and re-installed it and everything is good again. It will import your bookmarks from whichever version you tell it to.

    Looking very good. Please keep us updated.
