Re: Over 10000 miles, what to do?

Oil Every 2500 miles is important, BUT, if you can afford to do it every 1500 miles do it... oil is the one thing that you can't change too much, its basically what keeps your engine running, and with less than a ltr of oil in the engine, the more you change it, there better for you engine. little t...

Re: colder weather fuel economy

I used to work for a petroleum pipeline and there is a difference in regular unleaded gas from summer to winter. So it could be once the winter gas starts getting distributed to the filling stations you are seeing that drop. Looking at the dates in the graph seems about right. i know your in the US...

Re: When and how do you put your foot down at a stoplight?

the UK motorcycle test states, left foot down, right foot to cover the rear brake, although on a pcx thats not needed, but your still to use your left foot.. using your right foot on a uk motorcycle test can either make you earn minors or a serious/fail depending on the circumstances.

Honda CBF 2015, Honda Does it again...

... fails to make a bad motorcycle, personally i think the 2015 looks much better than the last edition, fairings much more 'refined' although lacks any screen at all, similar to a lot of the more recent 'naked' bikes. don't think i would take my PCX anytime soon for one, but as good as a 'budget' 1...

Re: TYRE CHANGE

in malta i don't think it will make too much of a difference really what tyre you use being in a dry climate, and naturally most tyres will grip well in the dry anyway, IRC's would be ok for the short time your in the wet, just take your time.

Re: TYRE CHANGE

City grips are the best you will get, IRC tyres i think personally are really good in the dry but lack grip in the wet, where as city grips give you better grip in the wet.

Re: Replacing Brake Levers

I picked these up on ebay, got the long version, black levers with red adjusters. The quality is excellent. Probably best if I wait for my son to install them. As I tell all my friends, between us my son and I know everything, but that's one of the things he knows :D :D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3...

As for the exhaust, well seeing as water is a bi-product of combustion, its al...
