)

Re: Riding Tips
Why not remove them by leaning over more. It's the most fun part of a bike...

Re: Riding Tips
Because you would have to remove the C-stand to use more of the tire/tyre on PCX. It's obvious when sport bikers have faked their leaning range over a guy who's been to the track. I leave the marks as they ride... and it's respectable.you you wrote:Why not remove them by leaning over more. It's the most fun part of a bike...

Re: Riding Tips
I looked closely and I'm sure it wasn't a PCX. They guy has posed (vertically) and then shown someone how to remove the tyre mould release agent from the side of his toys rear tyre.homie wrote:Because you would have to remove the C-stand to use more of the tire/tyre on PCX.

On YouTube.
No shame.
That's not removing the chicken strip, it's now down his back. It won't fool even the most inexperienced of motorcyclists.
We're saying the same thing. Just use the bike. Leaning over a bit is good. Leaning over more is better.

Re: Riding Tips
Spring has Sprung and it's FINALLY time to Ride, But Wait!
There's More tuit! Let's roll safely. Yes, and Let's have Fun!
Thinking MSF? Maybe considering (seriously) about taking a safety course? Great!
If/When you have time, why not sit back and take a look at these links.
To lure you in I'm sharing their video page.
"You can decide and ride" from there
Sample Vid:
More here: https://msf-usa.org/videos.aspx
And lots of MSF stuff here: https://msf-usa.org/
>>> ^ USA only ^
Perhaps member's across the pond have a link to share? Is it that much different over yonder?

Re: Riding Tips
Hmmm! not correct. The stickier the better. Ask Castrol and their nano technology and/or magnetite ?? (Sp).. You want oil to stick to metal so there is always a molecular barrier between the moving metal components. When oil sticks to these components you have less wear. That being said I would stay away from any Elmers, or similar products that might get you into a real bind. Stick with Castrol, Mobil 1 , Valvoline and Ride-on..gn2 wrote:Slippery stuff is best, sticky kind is no good.you you wrote:What is opinion on engine oil?
Re: Riding Tips
Utter bollocks.
The whole point of oil is to reduce friction, this isn't achieved by increasing the stickyness between the metal components, if it was we would be filling the crankcase with glue.
