    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok up till now I was using castrol 10w-40 motorcycle oil
And always used fram oil filters cuzz that is what was available to be...
This time I decided to switch it up a little !
Purchased rotella T 15w-40 , 9.5 litres and a EMGO oil filter , the filter was a couple bucks more then the fram and the rotella end up being cheaper then the castrol by about 4 litres for free ... :)
However I just fired the bike up and smoke comes out from both pipes now !!
Do I just need to take it for a good run ?
Or is my bike saying ummm nooo I like the other oil better ??:rolleyes:
 
You touched something......now something else broke. Par for the course with these old bikes. I can't have anything to do with the oil, but what colour is the smoke? white or blue?
