Nah goats don't rank high enough to be kept safe apparently lol

 

that is a very attractive price for one of those

 

Yeah it is. If it was in Charlotte I would try to get it for $3k

 

isnt that the bike jake the garden snake had?

well a similar one not the same one

 

so this image was taken from google but its a thought
so my fav color is purple and ive been wanting to change up the look of the klx with a graphics kit and sm wheels with some type of different color to go along with a purple type theme. i found this and kinda want to see if i can do it this winter maybe!

 

To y’all that serve or served, THANK YOU.

 

He's got a CRF300L and a MT-07 that he made into a Tenereish bike.

 

Before those though he had an xr650r that he sumo'ed. Sold it to make room for the CRF.

 

Ah, didn't know that. I only found him after I got the Rally.....and only went back and watched his first episode with the grom.

 

When I win the lotto.....I'll pay for your conversion

 

ya he has had a few different bikes i remember back when he had that drz, wr, grom and something else?

ye the xr was pretty cool tbh

man you the best! haha

 

Question: how many miles are people going on a dino oil change on a bike? Not synthetic. Im at 3k miles. Is that about my limit?

 

On my Buell before I went synthetic, I changed every 2500 miles, air cooled motor. On my antique Honda CB400F I change every 2000 but that could take me 3 years to put that much on that bike.

 

Normally 3k would take me 2 years. But this bike, i can go further.

Asking because riding seems a little rough. I know im due for a change, but I was trying to wait until spring

 

Given the choice I would change oil before storage. Why not run synthetic?

 

I usually start to feel it around 2500-3000miles. Neutral becomes harder to find and that’s my signal to buy supplies and change soon.

 

Id rather let the bike sit in old oil, and change it in the spring.

Does synthetic have longer mileage?

 

Old oil always has byproducts of the combustion process in it which can be acidic. Most sources I've read suggest changing oil before putting it away for storage. That said I will admit not changing the oil in my vintage Honda or Buell each year due to the low mileage each gets ridden.
Synthetic oil lasts a lot longer than dino oil. I know a few IBR guys who send oil samples to Blackstone labs for analysis to see how long they can safely run them before the additives are gone and the oil is no longer doing its best. One FJR owner I know is running Shell Rotella T6 and using 11k mile oil change intervals.
