How do you say, "No difference" in French?
Which is what I hoped for - since it was running fine before hand.
Never want to put new stuff in and have it run worse!
Out for 4 hours this morning. Many starts, lots of idling.
Old mill on a creek - now a guest house.
Was a stage line along here long ago.
I went up a 10mph
steep & winding road near this pic, and came upon 4 deer standing in the one-lane road. No issues, but they were very dark colored - or perhaps it was just the shadows of overhanging trees?

Je ne sens pas le difference?
Holiday French and there might be an accent or two missing.

Same here - after 5.5 yr's and 19,000+ miles, in the past 2 weeks I've changed the driven face (for clutch bearing noise), belt and air filter, all for the first time and not noticed any difference in performance or mpg. Good to have the clutch bearing noise gone, and good to have a new belt after so many miles.
The old belt looked perfect on all sides and I could tell no difference in width when both placed against each other. The old air filter was dirty, and I had cleaned it once before, but the new filter seems to have made no difference in mpg whatsoever.
Next up, next oil change and I may replace all the coolant as it's 5.5 year's old now.

Purposely left coolant worries behind forever with the sale of the Burgman. Tolerated it with the lovely Forza....
Now, it a/c forever on my scoots (unless Honda temps me past tolerance again)
