welcome - bbdvs230 [catchy] - please tel us you didn't 'sign up'...hunt down the popular mods and repairs....just to post that line!!?

someone might think you was placing an advert?...and if ya anything to do with this new product....for me ..that wasn't the best way to get guys attention

I personally respect and admire the records kept here...so maybe ask the mods if you can move it and put it in the vendors section....

i'm being polite

ok...mike ...i beleive i can tell from the handle bar weight when the front tyre is low on air......tried a warrior ...stock the other day and noticed that the handle bar near pushed itself into my hand as i got to the end of bar movement ..turn left it pushed suddenly into my grip and visa versa....felt distinctly odd like it was falling in slightly.....air was 19 to 20 lbs!!...put air in to 36...and it was a smooth as silk on the turns, no pressure as the bars turned in...just a minor thought...but we are getting low on new finds.... lol

there's still many warrior riders out there [not on our 4m..never knew it existed...] that don't know the new procedure for checking the oil...and they are overfilling big time

I think you are right Dr. Tom, these sport bike tires roll and lean really quick except when they get a little low on air they act like a regular cruiser tire lol.  I bet lots of guys who don't find there way here are getting robbed by the stealer.  There are some good and honest dealers, of course, but most are simply in it for the money and will skimp on training and wages and that's a problem at high speeds.  At least we folks here are ok with our oil knowledge and can pass it along to new members even if at first they say 'what - do you think I never changed oil before?' if you know what I mean.
