I changed the oil with Castrol 10W40 and changed the filter too. The manual suggested 10W30 but the guy at the counter said 10W40 would be good enough since 10W30 only came in synthetic thus would have cost me an extra $40 for the amount I needed.

Haha thanks! The last thing I have to do before primer and paint is to fiberglass those broken bolt corners and passenger handle bar holes since there were no caps manufactured for it.

I'd be so much happier if I could do it myself and then brag about it, but is it something an amateur c...

My bike is a '96 yamaha yzf600r (yellow and grey thundercat, rawrrr) I'm incredibly stuck with this question! I've turned my bike into a project bike for the winter and I'm going to repaint it myself and integrate some lights and change the headlight to something nifty and blinding 8) . I looked at ...

I recently started riding just a few months ago and on my first group ride, the guys told me that my rear tire would be good enough to last the rest of the season (wasn't exactly brand new).
