    Liquid-cooled Triumph twins 900/1200 cc

    I bought a 2008 Bonnie . I fell in love with it in the show room. However, I wished I would of road it first, but I was in a panic,..2 other people had interest in it and I knew if I didn't buy it on the spot that it would be gone. They gave me the owners manual, a fancy yellow cloth to clean it...

Way up here in northern sask, we have never heard of using diesel oils in anything other than a diesel engine. I...

    Diesel oils in gasoline engine

    I thought we were talking about Car or truck oil. sorry,...Yes rotella does make an excellent motorcycle oil. When I hear the word Diesel, I just think of heavy duty applications in the industrial field. Sorry for the confussion,..was not aware we were talking motor oil designed for bikes.

    Its for low revving engines not high performance high revving engines.

    Diesel oils in gasoline engine

    The DIESEL oil is NOT designed to rev 9, to 11 rpms. It will cavitate and you Will get engine damage. It belongs in diesel motors, not bikes.

    VMax fuel mileage

    My max is my Hot rod. My Indian Chieftain is my touring bike,..my Honda shadow 750 is for slow in town pleasure ridding. Not concerned about the gas consumption of the max. Twist the wick !!

    150 or 170 for the back?

    just put shinko"s front and back. 150 on the rear. Love it. Shinko on the front works soooo much better than the Dunlop. totally different handling bike. I like them.

    shinko tires 2 thumbs up

    yes very sticky. If I punched @3800rpms in 1st I could loose traction and skip the rear,..Not with the Shinko,...they BITE hard. Solid traction, and no fear factor. I am running the 150 instead of the 170.
