My ZRX shifts more smoothly with a 50 than with a 40.

Another oft-ignored question is, how much protection is really needed? Nobody is going to put 300,000 miles on a KZ.

I am pretty sure that the cheapest motorcycle oil of today is better in every way, except price, than the best oil on the shelf when our KZs were new.

I've not used Delo, but I have used Valvoline Fleet diesel, Mystik diesel, and of course Rotella, both T1 and T6.  All seemed to work well enough.

Go to one of his posts, then open the Actions menu and click Reply, just like you make a regular reply. Just above the text box, you will have two buttons. One is Message, the other is Private Message. Click Private Message and type your message to him. Click Submit when you are finished. Only Ed will be able to see the actual message, the rest of us will see the Private Content message.
