Hahahaha, Got ya!
Already searched and read through some good flame wars. It was entertaining to say the least.
Think ill got with baby oil, always makes my ski so smooth, its bound to work in the bike!!
:cheers:
I've had excellent results using the slippery kind that comes in quart size plastic bottles----come to think of it I think I have even seen it in much larger containers. Hope this has been helpful, let us know how it worked out for you-----pictures please.
Costco has stuff in large containers. There's even gallons (maybe 5 gallons) of oil that's supposed to have an "extra virgin" inside!
They have oil wrestling down here at the local gentleman's club. I'll ask Trixie and Montana what they think.
Bound to be slick enough for our 1989 engine.

mine didn't come with any!!! and it made my bike smell like french fries, not sure what i did wrong :dunno_black:
Crisco works the best :cheers:
Screw the oil, where's the Milk question?
Michael
Oil inside the bike is best.
Oil outside is not so good, but it can help with mad drifting.
I drink Organic 1%
im slightly lactose intolerant and the organic milk wont give me gas....so thats what i drink
I was told that the best two things to go organic in are, Milk and Beef!
No you doofus. You do NOT drink Milk it goes in the handlebars. EVERYONE knows this. Sheesh!
What bottles can I use to put milk in and what kind of milk should I use for under my foot pegs
Slips don't make me slap you...
Milk doesn't go in bottles it goes on the handlebars.
Under your pegs is where you dangle sinkers on some fishing line :thumb:
Anyone thought of milk in the frame?

milk will spoil over time....better to use unsweetened tea, or stale beer
Never ever let beer go stale, if you let beer go stale you have failed as a man and should do the honorable thing and kill yourself
on that note, watch 2:40 on of this video.

I've already got my milk in my handlebars (I'm a 2% kinda guy), but I'm having a hard time finding headlight fluid, anyone know a good local brand? :flipoff:
Oh, and I mentioned my chicken strips to a buddy of mine and his girlfriend turned around, looked right at me and asked, "How do you eat chicken strips while riding your motorcycle?" :icon_rolleyes:
Almost forgot.......for the ultimate in power increase, add a few purple powerbands :icon_mrgreen:
I also added a little dirty dishwater in my rear tire.....It helps keep me planted while railing turns........
I sell my chicken strips to KFC
But I am looking for an alternate lube for my muffler bearings. Think I might try Castrol Marine grease when next they are due for lubing.
How often do I service my rotator splint?

Agreed. I knew someone who left a whole case of Foster's (I hear that in Australia, it's sh!t beer) in his shed for the whole summer. Not to be defeated, he drank it pi$$ warm. Now that's nasty.
Maybe I should drink warm Fosters while greasing my muffler bearings. Anyone have any experience on this?
Michael
I hear those ausies drink foster warm normally I tried it, FLIPPIN BAD CHOICE. cold fosters with muffler bearings isn't a bad way to do it, but are you sure crisco is the best thing for them? Shouldn't you use something a but more thick? I mean you want those spline rollers in those bearings to stay in place in the bearings
Quote from: slipperymongoose on June 26, 2012, 03:34:28 AM
How often do I service my rotator splint?
Per the European service manual: "visually inspect the rotator splint every 6 hours of normal riding, every 3 hours of very aggressive riding/racing, and every hour of ride time if ridden in a predominantly marine environment or windy conditions", "If they require repacking with all purpose organic grease, you should use a long handled flathead screwdriver or a tied up mass of horsehair (whichever is closer). Pack the grease until you see it being emitted from the small weephole on the underside of the bearing atomizer"
-Hope this helps
As an alternative to horse hair, I've had success with the secretly snip dreadlocks from stoned out hippies. Highly recommended :thumb:
I occasionally take a slash in the fuel tank to condition and stabilize the fuel
Anybody have any luck using day old dark roasted coffee in the forks? I would think the heavier blend would really stiffen the ride and could serve as survival liquid in the event that you get stranded with Bear Grylls in the lower Andes Mountains

One should never operate a motorcycle (except on a closed race course) while on drugs.......With that being said, if you had any extra prescription pills, you can use them to balance your whels by putting them inside the tires......
Anybody ever try used peanut oil (like from one of those dirty carryout restaraunts) for the brake reservoir?
I use the old oil from the shop across the road :thumb:
My understanding is that most of the people around here use lots of Oil of Olay.
Any vitamin e cream works
If you can get your hands on, oil transformer oil from the substation transformers. It's carcinogenic, but aside from that...
Got plenty o that at work. Done deal
Yeah, well, they drink it in South Africa. They think... it gives a transformer power it will give me power too. They also steal it from transformers and cook with it. What dumbasses. Don't they know they can never fix their battery gimbal that way :cookoo:
I hear that used fry oil is good to use for engine oil; saw an old Honda use it with no apparent damage.
Personally I fill my front tires with ballast to help keep the front end down during quick starts. A wheelie bar on a bike just looks stupid.
It works great! but it makes you hungry! (i mean c'mon it smells like a resteraunt all day), try using GS foam to fill your tires, when i did that they never got flat!!! then you can start sticking nails in them to mess with friends =P
I have been using expandable construction foam to repack my exhaust with much success for several years now..........Only problem is the US Forestry Division frowns upon my bike when it gets good and hot and shoots molten flaming globs of foam from the exhaust when she gets on the pipe!
On another note, I have been using liquid carnauba wax in the trans on my CR250 without issues for several years :cheers:
I took a cbr250r for a ride and it was a gutless piece if shaZam! in the corners

If you are referring to my post, mine is a CR250R (2 stroke), that is FAR from gutless!
-BTW, I ran a bit of Tide detergent through my daughter's tricked out Honda 50 to clean out the crank.....worked very well. Just be sure to run a few rounds of dirty dishwater afterwards before adding the saltwater :cheers:
Read carefully CBR. Gutless poorly made bucket o plastic with some metal. Thanks for the dishwater tip I'll try that tonight
I once used dishwashing liquid/detergent instead of engine oil. Worked a treat. Might be worth a shot in the CBR250RR-R.
Also, I might start carrying a small 9v battery and a couple of wires. Surely that would work in a pinch to give the battery an extra boost if needed :thumb:

I know a guy that used wood magnets to repair is stator. He also uses under-water glue to keep his grips on.
Don't forget to fill your tires with helium...get an extra 5mph.
Keep a left handed hammer in your tool kit.

geeze, all this great info
i always kept a few spare watch betteries to jump start my motor cuz, ya-know, kick starting it is to main stream for me
You now how sometimes you see zipties on people's forks? Well, the reason is, it slows down the fork compression giving a firmer ride. Ideal for the GS500's less than high performance front forks. Try it today. Cheaper than new springs.
ALSO, if you collect enough Kentucky Fried Chicken boxes you can wring out enough oil to keep your bike in free oil :thumb:

god! Left handed hammers are so hard to come by. The right ones never swing right for me. I once saw an ambidextrous hammer at a store, but the handle was plastic and not sure the head would survive long, this guy Price, Fischer should really make a better product.
fischer just makes shitty products, he's like the Honda CBR of the tool world :flipoff:
I'm not sure shitty is quite the right word. After all, someone has to make tools for the weak and uncoordinated, or for those who just want to pretend they are working.
yeah, the plastic hammer came with its own work bench and an adjustable wrench that didn't adjust.
See? Those F. Price tools are just for show. Similar to rear brakes...everyone knows you only need the rear brake when you're doing wheelies.

Personally I like to ride the rear brake all the time and only let off of it when I want to feel a boost of power.
Yeah, when you hold the rear brake all the time it gives a constant motion regardless of downhill grade. So, when you hit speed bumps and the wheel is going down the other side, it does so at the same rate it went up and the bump feels less extreme. :thumb:

I passed a cbr250 in a corner!
On the outside where the distance was longer and the power of the GS shone through - or - the inside where the agility of the GS shone through? It is assumed you had dangling sinkers and handlebar milk, correct?
Michael
I passed straight through him sinkers were clinking
So you left some tread marks on his tank eh? Awesome. Typical hardcore Aussie. :thumb:
Michael
Why thank you yes I feel good
Now to remove your centre stand to stop it scraping on the ground.
What centre stand lol?
Beemer got a centre stand?
Havnt got it yet but it can have one.
I need new bar ends. Whenever I go around corners I lean so far over the bar ends scrape. Any suggestions?
Michael
Weld some 250 grade steel plate to your oem ones.

I though elbows were so yesterday and it is helmet dragging that's where it's at nowadays :dunno_black:
Michael
Maybe some Repsol or monster energy stickers on your bar ends may suffice?
Well, I'm thinking... put some Repsol stickers on the ride real fast down the highway. Then for twisties, yeah, the Monster stickers would be the bomb. As soon as I change my handlebar milk and put on some extra sinkers on my footpegs I'm on it :thumb:
