    Oil

    Funny you ask about Rotella oil, I just finished doing a valve check this past weekend and I have to say I was very pleased that I did not need any shims:) As I was looking over the cam lobes and heads I was very pleased how clean the engine is Midnight has been using Rotella most of its engine life and with 55,000 + miles this engine still looks new!! Timing chains - cam gears - cam lobes - valve shims - had no signs of wear at all still nice and very clean...!!!! When I bought Midnight from Mavrick he used Rotella T 15W40 And I switched over to Rotella T6 SYN for prolong oil changes Rotella T 15W40 @ 5,000mi or Rotella T6 @ 7,000mi but that's my preference Yep I very pleased...... The main thing on any motor oil is preventive maintenance !! Buddy
  2. Happy Birthday Jay, You old Fart:whistling: Hope to see you soon.... Enjoy this day my friend God Bless......
  3. Peg & I was there the week before rode Midnight over there and rode up Mt.Scott which is not the highest point but it looks like it from the top then rode over and let Peg see the prairie dogs and she saw new babies running around. Too bad we missed you guys as we live just 30 miles from Mt. Scott but I had Midnight torn down last few days for valve check and new valve cover gaskets among other things. And as for Meers it is very busy on weekends most of the time an hr wait. last time we had a burger there it was not that good figured it was due to them being so busy yet their home made ice cream & pie was excellent!!!!!! Mybe we can get together next time around? buddy

  5. I run the Tour master on my Midnight and had no problems so far and I ordered another rear tire for this coming season . I really like the tracking these tires put out but yet they do wear out sooner if you ride it hard . but over all I'm pleased with the performance these tires put out..... Buddy

  17. When you test ride one ride it like you stole it!!!! don't ride it like a V-twin you will lug the motor down these V-4's Love the high RPMs!!!!!You can not hurt these motors.. Heck you can reach 70MPH in second gear Other than the GL1800 Wing these XVZ V-4 motors will blow away the V-twins & Touring bikes!!!! Remember these are the detuned V-Max motors better know by Harley riders as the Bullet proof motor!!! They call them bullet proof for a reason!!!..........Remember that:thumbsup2:
  18. Like stated (Stator wiring) left side cover - Check the wiring grommet they been own to leak pretty good also if the side cover has been remove at one time ? check the side cover bolts maybe be loose as well which I found to be my problem at one time tighten the bolts up and no more leaks..
