Damn, I shoulda just shimmed my springs like I started to do , but then no one would be able to argue about oil? Ha ,ha thanks anyway for the shim tip Smokin! I 'll still use car oil too ,cause I can't afford to buy the high priced supposedly better Amsoil, or whatever , and buy gas to run all over the country to race too! Wheelie gave me tips , on clutch , oil . and riding ! He also showed me what a tail light looks like (3 times ) and I enjoyed it! Since I'm still a pup , I can always learn from the older guys !!!!! Oh yeah, is it ok to use car oil , and will mc/ oil make you go faster?

bawls? the name really says it all.I didnt know that after 3 or 4 years I could graduate up the zx 14 site ladder and tell the new ones on the site to f off because I didnt like something they said.The lack of respect and self control shouldnt be an excuse to say hey pussy Im not walking on egg shells for anyone.My question for bawls is this? Can I tell someone to f off after 3 years or am I required to wait the full four years before I can be just like you ?

I started using car oil also, since all the guys that post excellent details here, use the stuff. Amsoil is high priced depending where you get it. I have been extending my dealer cost to bikeland members since we've been doing our part to help sponsor this site. Even given a lot of it away here. Bikeland member's call or email for their discounts. Supposedly better is left up to opinions. Best results documented. Hopefully our service is up to everyones high standards.

Got my case and shirt, your wife was very nice and was quick to expedite my order,
Waiting for warm weather to change to Amsoil this summer. Been a Mobil1 Racing 4T
10w40 fan, had just changed oil and filter before the case arrived.

Thanks James for the discount.

You don't have to wait 3 years to tell someone to fuck off, but if you are going to come in here and act like a little bitch because people are giving you a hard time then you're not welcome. It's cool that your wife is a chemist and can tell us the same things that we've all learned by making hundreds of passes down the drag strip, but in the whole grand scheme of things you really bring nothing to the table. I would say that for the most part we've got a great group of guys here that would help anyone out and ask nothing in return. If you don't like me, hit the ignore button. I won't have to do the same because the only time that you chime in is when your wife needs to express her opinion.

I posted this in another thread, but perhaps it is a better fit here:

I'm not saying this was the cause, but I did toast a clutch in the 14 and in Racheals Gixxer while running 10/40 Penzoil car oil.

I ran car oil for many years without issue, but I got a little gun shy after that.

was it synthetic? If not, that's how I burnt the Clutha up in my 06 in 40 passes. It wasn't car oil but it was standard kawi oil. I wouldn't run that stuff in my push lawnmower.

bawls.Act like a little bitch? My wife needs to express opinion?Bring nothing to the table? again Bawls your wisdom and insite on human behavior astounds me.Your vocabulary second to none.your Choice of words clearly shows your level of intelligence.Your are absolutely right,with hundreds off passes at the drag strip who was I to post a thread next to you?Who did I really think I was to question anything you said with that kind of experience knowledge insite and wisdom.Funny how sometimes when people have never had any real authority perhaps a job where someone tells them what to do possibly a lack of real life friends how the internet can empower them and alavate there self esteem to the point where they can finally talk down to people with the authority that they could never do in the real world.In other words they truly lack bawls.
