To day was the first day I had a chance to start the RT . I let is run for 30min. Just wondering should I change the oil. I only put 1500 miles on it sense the last year change last year. Any way guys be safe out there.

There's no need to change the oil: just get those tires out on the road, and start having some FUN! :yes::yes::yes:

I believe once Oil in the engine becomes contaminated ( from use ) it starts to deteriorate......However that does not apply to the Oil Filter. That will be OK even the small amount of Oil that might be in it ( most will drain if you drain the engine and trans. ) will not ruin the new oil....... I change my oil twice during the riding season but only once for the filter ......... Mike :thumbup:

The weather is killing me here in north jersey. I cant move the Rt due to a stack of sheet rock in the way. I am redoing the garage and came across a good deal on 20 4x8 purple boards the commercial stuff. any way I am looking for forward to this up coming season.

I got one from 7JUROCK,went with a 22 inch dark tint with the flip which is a curved top.I liked their windshields because they cut the 2 openings like in the stock one instead of adding a vent.Havn't installed yet will try to post pics when I do.

I had a recurve windshield on my Road King. worked really well. noticeable difference between the stock shield and the recurve. I've been looking for a shield with the recurve for my RTS.

:agree: , I had one on my RSS , it was smaller than the OEM one on my RT but actually protected better ( imho ) . It was an F-4 but when it was made F-4 wasn't the same co. as it is now ...... Mike :thumbup:
