I use low viscosity fresh kill whale blubber to oil my 9mm automatic.  I recently switched from DOT 5...

Call any autoparts store and ask for a waterpump for an old beetle...good times! They'll check the computer forever and then tell you to try the dealer lol.

your tire pressures are low, and your throttle cable is routed wrong. Oh and don't forget to replace your clutch lever.

I noticed that the gas tank under the seat is awfully small.  What are you guys using?

On that note, where is my reserve tank? I looked all over and only see the one on top. I started filling a beer can up with gas and using that as the reserve.

Does not changing your oil regularly produce "Trans fat"  and doesn't that clog your bike's pipes?

When I twist the thingie on the right side of the handlebars, the bike makes a loud noise.  Is that normal?
