Buddy I can show you used oil analyses where Amsoil sheared within the first 1000 miles. If you think that spending 40 dollars for each oil change is justifyable because it has a motorcycle on the label than all the power to you.

thanks for the help guys/gals
well i bought it for 850$ . my first sport bike . I LOVE IT! my friend got his for 400$ , his spark plugs were wired wrong and it wouldnt start so the seller thought it was dead. dam he got a good deal !
my plugs were also wrong . i rode it for 200 miles befor i looked at them . i fixem and she changed her tune instantly . befor it made a deep rumble noise like a gorilla was in there mad as hell . now its a smooth humm .
but tht still hasnt help my hard starting problem .
had it for 2 weeks now . when i got it i need full choke and ful throtel to get her going maybe 1 pop start , once it was warm shed fire up no problem, no choke no throtel needed .
well everyday it was gettin a lil worse, seemed to take longer and longer to start and more and more pop starts to get her going . still cold she needs full choke and full throtel .
now i cant get her started with the starter and seems like it has to be pop started. but once warm she runs fine . some noises in the engine or gear box but nuttin tht seems to bad . but im no expert so im not sure if there fatal .
g2g will update mor info later
when riding im promising her the world . ill take her to the top and fix her up for the grand ball , then i get home and realise i have no money or mechinical or spelling skill .
ill have to buy her a cane cause shes getting old
