    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Tire Mounting/Balancing Service... Thoughts and Opinions.

Tire beads make a gawdawful mess, when you break the bead and you don't know they're in there. I changed tires for a buddy after he bought a used bike, and I'm still finding undisclosed beads here and there 15 years later.

Whether they work or not is beside the point. Static balancing takes five minutes or less and doesn't make a mess.

Besides, motorcycle race mechanics at all levels up to and including MotoGP use static balancing, exactly as I do in my garage (except sometimes with more expensive tools) and that is good enough for me.

Well, As long as everybody is doing what they want & what they think is best for "Them", I'd think everybody should be well satisfied.... Great to have experiences, opinions, & input from everybody..... Thinking the same about the oil, If you like Quaker State, pour her in, and pretty sure somebody else will feel the same about Rotella, Castrol, or Kendall.
