• 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.

    General Altimax rear tire - how do you access valve stem??

    Hi Bensonoid, Re: This air chuck works perfectly. I bought one of those a few weeks ago & agree completely. I put the valve stem at about 11 o'clock & have great access to it; both for checking the pressure & adding/removing air. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi TONYO, Re: How do I clean the oil tank strainer? I just cleaned the one in my oil reservoir. It takes about a 26 mm wrench; or my adjustable 'crescent' wrench which worked just fine. Mine was fairly clean ( 14,000 miles ) but I cleaned it with solvent & then blew it...
