When you try and post pictures from photobucket you need to use the image code. Bike looks great, very clean.

Thanks. Ya, I just need to get her tuned up, and make a street fighter. And I'm still sorta new to forums. By that I mean I haven't used one since 2008 lol. And I also realized my gas gauge isn't working.

If you came up with no results, you're definitely doing the search wrong!!

Oil and tyres have been discussed a million and one times, try experimenting some more.

If you're in the states then some swear by Rotella (available I believe in Walmart at a good price). To quieten the cam-chain noise go for the 20w50. Just don't use regular auto oil, It'll Fudge up your clutch plates with friction inhibitors.

Google Castrol Motorcycle Oil. They have a searchable by model page that'll give types of Castrol oils plus quantities. I also recommend going up to 20/50 to quiet the cam chain


hopefully this link will show


Oil Selector : Castrol Moto


Here's some FAQS about Mobil synthetics. Explains the difference in formulations between car and motorcycle oils
