    Best fuel to use!!!

    Petro can 91 does contain ethanol if that station also sells 94 - which also contains 10% ethanol. Only the petro stations that do not sell 94 have 0% ethanol in the 91. My response to this email was a simple one liner --> "Thanks, I'll just tell the wife to go to Shell".

    Kimpex Oil Filter

    FYI, that same guy also posted this!! The filters may be the best, but when the MFG recommends not using them, just something to consider From http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Filters.html

    your multi-meter must be busted - cause 15 volts while cranking is not right (neither is 18 when bike is off).

    Bike makes clicking noise when starting and doesn't start (battery problem?)

    Most bikes will not do that. Most bikes require the key to illuminate the brake light.

    Anyone know where I can get black liscence plate bolts in the GTA ?

    The black nylon bolts I've had for almost a month now I estimate they will last about forever. The Suzuki plastic rivets have been holding my plate for over a year now!

    Anyone know where I can get black liscence plate bolts in the GTA ?

    I have these on one of my bikes right now, Walmart nylon black. On my other bike I use 2 x Suzuki plastic rivets for an even cleaner look.

    Your charging system is not functioning correctly. Once you get it home, diagnose the charging system and replace the defective components. Could be R/R, could be a stator, could be a wiring harness, could be a connector etc. Hope your trip home isn't too painful.

    Tail light problems

    True say, +1 to that. My last bike at can tire, they verified the sidestand kill switch worked and that was the complete extent of the inspection. Literally, 3 minutes.

    Tail light problems

    Looks like you are right. Same info here. http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Replacing_turn_signal_bulbsSo then, looks like about 14 ohms per bulb will do it, I'd use the next lower commonly available size.Get something of sufficient wattage to dissipate the heat, like 20 watts or thereabouts.

    Tail light problems

    10 watts @ 12v = 14.4ohms.... BUT I have my doubts about an OEM bulb being only 10 watts.... usually the cheap aftermarket stuff is around 10, and not bright enough. I have my doubts that 10w is the OEM spec, can you confirm that? Is it stamped on the OEM bulbs?
