    anyone needs a front stand?

    yeah my bike doesnt have spools or spool holes, therefore paddle style stand. i dont see the 45$ stand at royal from their catalog. i see the 99$ combo one though. i just think that i would need the rear stand more than the front. and really at this time it is just not required. maybe at a...

    engine oil conditioner?! additives?!

    thanks for the reply peeps. well 2 things: 1) mechanics (2 of them), rode the bike and suggested to add 'oil conditioner' to help oil circulate better. (the shop and mechanics will remain nameless). 2) thought of adding seafoam in the engine for cleaning then do an oil change. i believe the...

    engine oil conditioner?! additives?!

    right turn vs left turn

    i have a tendency to go wide on a right turn. if it is a continuous turn, no stopping but only slowing down, it's a little better than when i have to stop (ie: stop lights). so even if it is a small turn, when i stop at the lights, then turning right lane to right lane on my blocking position...

    seafoam spray on air intake

    i saw this at ct the other day. googled and youtubed afterwards. saw peeps spraying it directly in their bike's air intake (without the pod etc), while bike is running and revving. a lot of peeps have a lot of positive things to say about it. so has anyone here actually used seafoam spray on...

    helmet, jacket, dirt and sweat > cleaning/maintenance

    thanks for the input everyone. i'm still experimenting witht he actual liner that's attached to the jacket (leather) (ie: the mesh/fabric that holds the armor etc). the removable liner no issue. so far orange (anti bacterial) febreeze works the best.

    right turn vs left turn

    so i've noticed that my left turn is better than my right turn, smoother etc. for some reason, turning right gives me an 'awkward feeling' with the lean and my grip and hand/arm position on the handle bar. (looking thru the turn, knees in etc all applied.). any thoughts?! it feels that my...

    Earplugs

    didn't know they come in sizes except for the custom fit ones. they the soft orange ones from shoppers. highest decibel rating they have. i tried different ways, deeper, shallow, twisting before inserting, or just pressing/compressing. i might try the silicone ones.

    Hjc

    i wear an fs-15. one main thing i noticed with hjc helmets is that their pads are softer/plushier than other brands. this may be good/not good for others. personal preference i guess. pin lock visor insert helps. i tried the is-15 with internal visor, for some reason i get annoyed as if the...

    Earplugs

    earplugs for some reason give me headaches. i even tried wearing them while sitting at home just to get used to them but either my ears/jaw area hurt and eventually i get a headache. i'm using those foam ones from shoppers. i also tried the silicone ones from walmart.
