    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    TPC Spec or not, coming off a worn out set to a new fresh set of rubber feels fantastic. It is truly amazing how much quieter, smoother and more precise the turn in is with the new set. Like putting on a brand new pair of socks, it makes you wish you could put on a new pair every single day...

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    25K Miles on them, thought I had another 5K to go based on the wear bars. Didnt notice the inside edge wear. Always run at 32PSI, may bump that up to 35PSI to get some more center on the ground. Also going to have the aligment checked, drives and feels fine, but could have a bit excessive...

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    Time for tires, cant find the TPC spec for the front locally, dont have time to wait for the TPC spec tires to come in so going to have to put a set of aftermarket PS4S's. I'm sure the new aftermarket 4s's will still feel better than the old warn out OEM's.

    CT4-V Transporting bikes within.

    I'm able to put my road bike in the back with the seats folded down, no problem. Just put the wheels in a wheel bag. I bit the bullet and tried the Sea Sucker for the MT Bike, its a bit scary at first, stopping to check the suction every few miles, but after a while you forget about it up...

    LF4 Engine Oil Temperatures and Type

    For those using Mobil 1 5w-30, for just a few more pennies you can get Mobil 1 Extended Performance which uses a better base and is generally regarded a better oil for the turbo bearings. It comes in 5qt jugs, so I buy three at a time which gives me two oil changes (4bw = 7qt) and I have one qt...

    SD card for Performance data recorder

    With all solid state non volatile memory media, there is a finite number of times the memory allocations can be written to. Larger storage media will last longer as it will overwrite the same allocation less often. With any of the higher quality media, this is usually not an issue as it takes...

    Highest quality setting, I forget what that is off hand.

    SD card for Performance data recorder

    With the 32GB, I get about 2 days worth of commuting, I dont think I would want to store a week or two worth of video that could (possibly) incriminate me in having some fun here or there.

    First (warranty) repair - clunk in right rear

    Since the day I bough my 4BW, I have heard a light clunk in the right rear. The noise presented itself under sharp edged bumps and was in rebound, not compression. It was much more noticeable if the suspension was stiffened up, it was hardly noticeable in the normal soft setting. I almost...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Tested the Sea Suckers today for the first time. My road bike fits in the back with the seats down, but not the MT Bike. Glad to report, every good thing you have head about the Sea Suckers appears to be true.

    What Happened CEL?!?!

    Classic misfire, you have to check the stored pending codes, if you cause it to miss long enough it will set a hard code and a more difninitve ID on which cyl is misfiring. The key is not so much new plugs, but plug gap. It has to be reduced some from the factory .032"-.034" down to .024" -...
