I smell a lot of opinions around here, opinions being like... well, you know.

The only bit of advice that I see being offered that is unquestionably true is that changing full synthetic oil that often is a waste of your money. But hell, if it makes you feel good, it's your money... do what you want with it. And other than that, just go out and ride the freaking bike how ever you want to. I don't think there is a right way or wrong way as long as it's getting out of the garage.

JB, I haven't posted in a long time and my be missing something. What does a bald guy in a dress, looking at animal porn carvings have to do with this topic?

 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All
I've had my 2008 GenII for almost 2 years now. Only has 11,000 on the clock, most of which I've put on in the last few months. I have been changing the oil about every 2000 with ful syn 20-50. On my last few rides I find myself running in the 6-8000 RPM's (2nd and 3rd mostly) for extended periods. I do like the way the bike runs in that power range.

Aside from the obvious.....blowing it up....and "dont do that".... any thoughts on additives or anything else that might increase engine life and or performance.

Ho, Ho, Ho.............Merry Christmas

Don't ya just Love the Holidays,

To All, Be Good, Be Safe

You're on the wrong bike!
