Unless the Lowes O-rigns are made of nitrile rubber, they will deteriorate when exposed to gas. Do yourself a favor and order replacements now. Nitrile, fluorocarbon rubber (most commonly seen trademark is Viton) and several others will work. On-line vendors tell what they are good for. Ace Hardware can probably do the same thing.Originally posted by LarryJ View Postsigpic[Tom]

Fitted an AGM battery to the XS650 - since it has no starter motor, I reasoned a much smaller battery would be fine and since I fancied an AGM, I decided to try something out. I trial-fitted an alarm system battery of 7Ah, which might (or might not) live happily with the charging system of the bike. I wait to see how it pans out.---- Dave

My garage always smells like carb dip. Kind of like moth balls.

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

Installed Mojoblocks on my Harbor Freight tire changer. I keep saying that when this thing wears out or breaks, I'll buy a No-Mar but after 18 years and I don't know how many tire changes, this cheap piece of crap just won't wear out!!!1979 GS550, 2003 R6, 1998 XR400 Dual Sport, 2004 V-Star.........

Fitted the air filters, checked things over and fired up the Yamathing.
It feels small compared to what I've been used to, but goes well enough
Still got a few things to do, but now it's a rolling repair, and no longer a workshop queen.---- Dave
