The saddle bags kinda look odd on there,but the rest of the bike looks pretty cool. So long as we are still talking about the KTM,right?

How did this thread turn into a Harley bash? It was started on the new Indian and then went down the toilet. I own a Harley that I got new in 2006 and I have to say that it has been a very reliable and solid bike, just as good as the many metrics I have owned. I ride with my friends that have...

To determine the size of gen needed for your A/C or anything else, here is how you calculate. Volts X Amps = running watts required,,,, almost double is needed for start up!

There is also Quaker state Defy 10w40. I am using this in my rebuilt 390 FE.

Has any one ever used a motorcycle oil in an outboard? I looked at valvoline and there is a 10w40 that has all the correct API certs that are listed as approved oils in the OM.

I may go with the QS Defy 10w40, Its labled as having more zddp.Or would it be best to just use PYB 10w40.

Just got me a new 9.8 Tohatsu outboard and the owners man says use 10w30 or 10w40 with a chart for temps and so on, but i can only find 10w30 or 25w40 for outboards here localy. the temp cut off for 10w30 is about 86 deg and here in Tx thats about our low temp. Will the 25w40 be too thick even...

The owners manual for my 1970 Ford F100 says change the oil every 6 mo or 6000 miles! No mention of the 3k OCI way back then.

I dont see the high zinc that they are claiming. So mch for runing this in my flat tappet engine.
