• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Your right guys... three new tires and an alignment ... WOW ... what a difference . After an hours drive home , i looked at the front tires on the highway and they were even across the tread pattern . A good dark strip in the center of the tire . Just had to make a small adjustment on the belt...

    Front Grill !!

    Thanks Gwolf , i never thought about the heat off the engine . I was thinking i would get more of a response from someone that may have tried this or even from Chupaca himself . I haven't put any time on it , so i will wait till i get it out of winter storage .

    syn or blend oil

    :agree: with BajaRon , I've been in the Marine business for a good many years . I've seen the difference between good and cheep oil. I don't care on the price of a good oil , especially if i only change it once a year. If i'm lucky enough to get the time to put the klm's on , that i need to...

    syn or blend oil

    I also have a 1999 Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan Nomad (with 145,000 klm's) . I was told by a Amsoil rep , that Amsoil was the ONLY oil that you DON"T HAVE to change before you store your wheels for the winter . That's about six mounts here in CANADA . What are your thoughts on this ??
