The no-debate OIL POLL

[jkinkade]

I'm at my happiest, feeling my sporty pull hard out of corners, she seems to throw me out of the corner. I can't go too hard down hill into a tight corner , unless the road is clear & I can keep it open & lean over. I got stock single disc 03 brakes. not complaining, just explaining.

Glad you enjoy your monster torque
IMO 2003 have strong brakes with hers 4 pistons calipers...

on wet and downhill without abs have to be careful though... uphill is a slightly different story... but could happens derapages and power slides

I 'm not saying the roads here were I live are the best , but we have a great riding road we do once in a while from coast to mountains and inland. nearly all fine hot mix, so good dry weather traction. but some roads out west are a bit rough & they just dump cold mix bitumen over tar, nightmare for the belt!
well I have an Ozzy mineral base oil in my motor now. I'm going to try do a good long ride & use a heat gun get a reading from barrels. then drop oil change filter & fill with AMSOIL & do the same see if temp is lower.

Only on the internet... I wonder what oil...

Sorry your bike is so pathetic. I got cash if you want to lose all of yours.

Hey, his oil is known to add 10hp when used with those hot cams he's running. Just though I'd warn you!

So let's clarify this. You're claiming your stock gearing stage 1 1200C will pull 7,000 rpm in 5th gear? That's over 140 mph.

I didn't know there were cliffs that tall in Florida.

Edit: We should probably start another thread so you can tell us all how you manage this miraculous feat!

Must have removed the 6000 rpm rev limiter.

Down here in Florida you can get alcohol free gasoline at every WaWa there is....not sure if that helps to get to those high RPMs, but it is good to know.....plus they have the best sandwiches there are.....if you come to Florida try a WaWa.
