overcomplicate

completely false

Used a high quality full synth oil recently in a customers 1100 Evo, but it gets past the breather and onto the floor via the airbox drain tube. Used another brand full synth of the same weight and no problems. I note not surprisingly that the Motul 10/40 7100 pours like water at ambient compared to the Penrite 10/40 full synth which flows like a 20/50. I also note that Motul now make a 10/60 for big bores. I tried the Motul to make the wet clutch less sticky.

A car bloke told me that his crew use Motul in fast 4's but use Penrite in big inch V8's for the same reason.

Anyone have any experience on this?

This is great news!  Hopefully continuing on that trend 


The few times I’ve been to the IKEA store in Denver I can’t help but smile and think of Rat - as was the case this morning. 

Headed home tonight after another bout of dog sitting for friends.  I’m ready to be home for a loooong stretch of time but that’s asking too much of the universe.

I hope you all had a fantastic thanksgiving weekend.

Later.   

I think MV makes some of the most beautiful bikes. I've been lusting after a TV for years. Unfortunately, there's only one dealer in my neck of the woods (CO) and they never have any MV's on the floor. Any other dealers are multiple states away. Their entire US dealer network is less than 40. Aftermarket is even more spotty.

It seems strange to me to find what are probably two of the most boutique moto brands putting out a 'real' ADV bike.

Totally agree on the mid-weight comment, too. The smaller ADV bike is almost 70 pounds heavier than my '13 MTS GT, which I wouldn't consider taking off-road. And a 34" saddle height will be a hurdle for many.

Great article, too!

Still late morning here. 

Feeling a little better, less numbness in the leg!
