    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.

Greetings friends and neighbors,

I received a couple of requests to document an oil and filter change procedure. I have done so and posted another PDF document at my BikeCliff website. For those of you who have never changed your own oil and filter, I know this will help you. I had a friend help me the first time. I'll be your friend, but this is about the only way I can help. Enjoy!

Thank you for your indulgence,

I would do it with warm oil not cold.... the oil flows easier & brings out more crud with it which is the ultimate aim.

You have to be a little bit careful with the pipes but a set of latex or mechanics gloves can save you from any "ouch" moments.

I can see your point Mr. salty_monk. Especially in colder climates, having your oil a little warm makes it flow more easily. In my garage last Sunday it was almost 90 degrees. I hope that was warm enough. :-D

Maybe when the fires are out we can go for a ride?

Thank you for your indulgence,

That sounds good... Any time :)

I usually roll up into the garage after a run, stick it on the centrestand & just drop the plug straight out there & then. I'll give it 10 mins draining (cup of coffee :D ) before messing with the filter though just in case I touch the pipes by accident.
