First ride with the T6
10/11/12 at 07:50:56

Well, the bike turned 3000 miles saturday, so time for the second oil change. I decided ( based on input from here) to try the T6 syn from Walmart. Beside the obvious 4 dollar per quart savings ( I bought a gal) .. I also did not have to trek 15 miles to the bike shop for "bike oil" ... big money and time saver.

Tuesday was my first chance to ride since the change. Clutch works fine, and bike purrs.. ok thumps along as normal. Biggest problem was finding a container to put the old oil in... so I downed a 1/2 gal of eggnogg... and ussed that to drop the oil off at the Auto Zone for recycle.

Didnt ride again today... forget cold or rain... for the love of God ... someone tell me how to deal with all the pollen.. I did ride yesterday... and my sinuses are giving me heck for it.

Lastly: in the "well crap dept" theres a pencil eraser size paint chip on the side of the gas tank. I have no idea other than a possible stray rock. How can such a little thinkg make me sooooo upset.

(Loratidine 10 mg, $5 for 60 tabs) Works for me. In the automotive section they also carry the small paint retouch bottles with a small brush. My tank has more touch up bumps than a 16 year old with a chocolate addiction.

Follow can direction to the letter or it WILL wrinkle... Fuel/oil safe and fairly chip resistant, we used it on tractor trailer frames at my last 2 town jobs.
