This afternoon Ride to Omaha

[Pancakes]

popping and running hotter, it could be running lean but dood, I'm no bike mechanic. I can say tho I'm unimpressed with all of the bike shops I've used so far, chain lube on the tyres, over filling the (normally 1500mL) oil by more than 500ml! Lots of things. You'd like to think a brand new bike (not a cool bike but they got paid for it so it shouldn't matter) would be in great shape and set up right. Unfortuantely I think that most places slap them together and get them out the door, NEXT! I love bikes but want a place I feel cares about me and my bike to service it. Would go on a day trip to get a service done. Whangarei/Hamilton easy if I though it was gonna be better than the botched jobs I've had done in Auckland. Haven't tried everywhere tho.

Yeah I know aye. Diving forks from Mt Eden, Fuel leaning from Spectrum...

The funny thing is Mt Eden said it was perfectly normal and that I would have to pay to have it fixed, Not under 1st free service, not under warranty...

This one atleast gets a little bit stiffer when it goes down instead of just dropping to the very bottom

Sucks to feel like your getting taken for a ride eh, how your forks were... not how the manufacturer intended thats for sure! I called up where my bike was repaired today and told them after washing it yesterday I found there are some kinks in the frame. Got told no there aren't! I was like.. shit man, I'm looking at it and it was straight and now it's bent and I know what a friken' straight line looks like!! Anyway, meeting the NZI assesor there tomorrow to talk to him and the mechanic. Talk about pissing me off. Put me on the road on a potentially unsafe bike. I'm not happy and definately want some resolution here. Ah well, will see how tomorrow goes and if I come back pissed post pic's of the damage and name names thats for sure.

I agree with the BP petrol and not too good on motorbike engines (98). After having it ran like crap after 3-4 fill ups from BP stations I now give them the big curve. Could very well be the problem. Dont have an issue with other stations, shell seems the best for some reason?

Yeah I Used to use 98 all the time, bike seems to like Shell 95 better tho. Mmmm. I did go for a ride the other day then turn off to BP Kumeu to fill up without thinking tho. Just doesn't seem to be any more grunty for the $$'s a. Might have to try some 98 Mobil (oops, sorry mr marketing man, Mobil 8000) and see. You notice the difference on a small bike eh cos it's WOT all the way! All the gears, all the time, right up to a massive 150!

If it means anything I try and use BP 98 as much as I can and never have a problem. Never used 91, never will. I don't feel an increase in acceleration but then I've never WOT my bike on the road!
