    new UK motorcycle legislation.... scary stuff.....

    Agree, but Bill 203 targets all vehicles in general, they are not singling out any specific group. Politically its hard to fight 203 if the argument is that it makes "roads safer". You're not going to win that argument...

    dont buy gas day - your thoughts?

    You don't boycott one gas station you boycott all Shell stations as an example, and you coordinate it for one or two weeks. You get enough people doing that and Shell or Esso or whomever will get the message. Not saying its practical, but if you get enough people doing it you will impact that...

    dont buy gas day - your thoughts?

    This is the way you do it, target a shell, esso, petrocan, etc. for a prolonged period of time until they drop their prices. This would hurt them and teach them a lesson. Hell if social media can overthrow governments, it can sure as hell kick the oil companies in the *****

    back tire sliding -> normal?

    Do all the easy stuff: -Adjust your riding on colder days (with colder tires) -Check tire pressure, I use 34 front 36 back on both my bikes If all else fails get your suspension set up for your weight and style of riding at a reputable shop like Pro 6.

    Actually the 83 CB 1100F had the reputation for tossing rods (number 3 to be exact) if revved excessively beyond red line and the 81 900F had the problem with popping out of gear (fixable) The examples shown in this thread so far (silver one included) are 1982 900Fs. They are rock solid :)

    Looking for coolant recommendations for Yamaha street bike

    You've got the basic idea, but you don't have to run distilled water in your bike then drain it. 1- Drain existing coolant into a bucket 2- With the drain plug still open pour distilled water in through the rad cap opening until the fluid runs clear at the drain plug 3- After you see the fluid...
