    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    It may be Fred. Delvac is what I think was being said to hold the highest PPM of Zinc. At any case putting ZDDP in sure beats sacrificing a chicken and spitting good rum all over the place. I am wondering if 13's have a dry clutch issue? It seems to me that with all the clutch plate soaks that...

    So when do I run out of fuel on 2013?

    You run out of gas when there is no more in the tank. Up to you to figure out when there is no more there. Not to be harsh but it should be the first thing you do is figure MPG by doing the math each tank. Then pick a conservative number and go with it. All the other variables mean very little...

    Let me know when I can get a set and I will buy them. Just let me know and see if any pricing for Forum Members are going to be available.

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    I agree, no correct answer. The thing I understand is ZDDP is not only good for pressure, but anti oxidation and a cleaner. It is also STP in another bottle. So what I read is all good including the anti oxidation and cleaning ability and how that would play into a better clutch engagement...

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    Well we all have different opinions on this. First Zinc is very important to preserving oil from breaking down which is why it helps in pressure on gears. Second if it was build up then why are they stuck together? And after calling Barnett for clutch pack soaking they said 20 minuets, not...

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    Everything I have read about oil is that the Zinc is very important for cling and pressure properties of oil. Also that Zinc is going and has gone the wayside in most oils. The cling and pressure properties is exactly what clutch plates and steels need in the FJR. Since the oil bath of the...

    Rotella T6 causing clutch drag and hard shifting?

    Risoline is really the snizzle for me. No shifting issues, and never learches forward as it did with 0 miles on it. Of course at 0 miles I put a Barnett clutch pack in and a Scorpion spring conversion. Had the oem clutch out soaking and got a wild hair. Not a good bang for the buck except...

    Not a Good Week

    All I can say is at "least" yours is all mechanical. On the half full side of the glass, at least you can trouble shoot and wrench yourself. I know time and of course money, but as we see below, that glass is definitely half empty. Sorry for your woes but I am sure you will be riding pretty...

    Dip beam headlights not working

    Not too bad of a job to do if you have small hands, can hold your tongue at just the right place, and someone was in before you and put a little silicone grease around the boots. Do a Google search see how the bails, or wire clips work that hold the bulbs in, again placing your tongue at the...

    Tank Slapper WTF?

    We did this on our Harley s as it was the only way to adjust them. It was called "fall away". If they slammed over you tightened them, if it was slow or bound you would loosen them. After a time or two you could tell when fall away was good. Not sure if it applies but it was how we did it on...

    Sena SMH10 Assitance

    I set my volume on the MixIt and then use the Sena Jog dial to increase or decrease volume. The MixIt will out run the Sena's Speakers pretty quickly.

    Sena SMH10 Assitance

    I use the Mix It with a Boostaroo, and a Bluetooth dongle off the mixit. I get my GPS loud enough to hear thanks to the Boostaroo. I have my I-Pod the MixIt, the Boostaroo, the Bluetooth dongle all charging in my Twisted Throttle Electrified tank bag, GPS is wired into the fuze block. It all...

    Less Expensive Alternative To Kermit Chair?

    I bit the bullet last year. I can only say no sense stressing on it just buy the chair you want in the color you want and call it a day. There is nothing that equals a Kermit cept a Kermit.

    Book Review: Motorcycling Montana

    Since doing those points last summer on a 28 day, 7500 mile ride I have to say they were a awesome sight. What a awe inspiring ride and sights. And a hike into the Gran Canyon was all that and a bag of chips with salsa too! However I would do another 28 days doing the rides from this mentioned...

    How fast IS the new FJR?

    All I know and care about is she is very fast. She has had my balls in my throat a couple of times riding hot, and being surprised by how hot it will run. Slack off in that 7-9k RPM range and you better be ready for some pucker factor. Yes I do love the FJR and the fact it can turn on to such...

    I thought the ST1100 plastic was a bi$#h ...

    Any Tupperware bike has it's nuance's to take apart. I is a matter of doing it once or twice and you wont have a problem. A pick for the plastic rivets and you are set. The BMW K 1200 LT was also a pain the first time or two, but you will remember the second or third time no problem. Waite to...
