Along the same lines>>> I've been experimenting to see how long I could run the cast piston in my '98. I did a top end job in 2001 (its first) and that was just a deglaze and a new stock piston. Every year in the spring I pull the reed cage and check for cracks>> Finally got one this year so I rebui...

I don't want free shipping >>I want to pay a reasonable amount. Both Fedex and Ups can send a package containing the parts I ordered from Illinois to Florida for 40-45 dollars or less (i'm being generous on the weight and size) in 3 days. I'm just not sure why I'm paying $110.00 (whats the extra $65...

Service Honda heads up
Hey guys I thought I had better give you all a heads up regarding ordering parts from Service Honda. Yesterday I ordered some parts from Service Honda and while processing the bill the shipping price came up as $110.00 - this seemed pretty high but I figured it was just a website estimate based on w...

Conversion
To convert kilograms to pounds multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2
Therefore 9.8 kg = (x2.2) 21.6 lbs
Therefore 9.8 kg = (x2.2) 21.6 lbs

Just different
I just got the AF last fall using the same motor I've been running since 2000 (original crank/bearings steahly weight (7oz)). The AF is a lot different than the steelie. Quite a bit less vibes at idle and quarter throttle-ish. When you do fast fireroading mostly 4th 5th gear stuff I think the AF vib...

hmmmm
I'm kinda a skeptic myself. The studs thread into cast aluminum with a sleeve of steel pressed into it. They only go into the cast alum an inch or so. The steel sleeve continues uninterrupted out the bottom at which there are four studs applying more pressure (higher torque) in a different pattern f...

Every few years I pull one down from the shelf stick it in then rebuild the old one and put it back on the shelf. I finally got enough scratch to pick up a couple and now they cost t...

I had Bf Goods
I had BF goods and they were all right --> wore pretty fast so so off-road
I've had Good Year Wrangler MT/R's on for two years and I like 'em
p.s. they are kinda sexy looking too (if your into that)
p.s.s they do hum a bit

It would be my luck
10 bucks says I'd slip installing the tire and put 2 or 3 big ass scratches is the sides of those black babies. Still, I gotta say anodized machined hubs are definitely chubb material (I'd prefer red w/gold).

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in regards to MSR rad guards. I had originally purchased a set for my 98 cr 500 --> the installation went ok and they fit just fine . I'm just about ready to get my AF on the road and thought I would buy a set for the "new" bike based on my previous ...
