I at best wipe them down with Honda polish I also don’t always change my oil before winter. Sometimes I don’t get around to it

Does work great for the plugs though as they need about 18 ft-lb GriszledMelkaba posted:what the gently caress this rules

I would immediately red loctite one side and only ever deal with the other one. You know, to make it like literally every other bike ever manufactured.

I was joking haha. One flap is perfectly fine, your PO probably just didn’t do any at all. I’ve never seen one flat let go of a nut ever

I used to work with a guy who was a hardcore iron butt dude. Like “has strong opinions on different brands of catheters” hardcore. He rigged a rear tank on the rack of his concours 14 that fed into his main tank. He could turn the flow on and off to essentially refill the main tank while riding. Fighter jet style. He claims with his catheter in and a camelback loaded up he could go 600 miles at a time. No idea how accurate that is but

I have no idea what sort of hosed up stuff made him think that was ok. We rode together once and he just got frustrated with my way too frequent 120mi gas stops so we never rode together after that.

“A biker finds a motorcycle at an old mechanic shop that has a hole in the seat so you can poo poo through it while riding. He has to keep it a secret because all the guys in his iron butt club would want to poo poo through it”

I didn’t know that and now you’ve given me another good reason to fear semi trucks while on the bike It’s bad enough getting hit with garbage water if you wind up behind a garbage truck.....

 I’m astonished that the webbing didn’t break from the sprocket drive slamming back and forth against the hub for what sounds like years. That’s gonna feel like a whole new bike
