Yeah, it is. Esp considering I went back up to the second step on the preload to help offset any possible instability I might encounter. So I can get better still.

They're all I use anymore. Still have the rear view hanging there but rarely even look at it.

Don't know of anyone that hooked it back up after disconnecting it. How hard was it to get out? Remove the wheel?

 

[Mudder]

Ordered a water brick, cheaper than rotopax type. Can be frozen and it is food grade and will fit flat in cargo basket. (Thanks to @trigger for his water/radiator cleaning at the Takeover).

WaterBrick Standard 3.5 Gallon - Tan

after reading some peop[e are changing their oil from honda to moble 1 synthetic i have a question. the honda dealer tell me oil is not just for engine but also for transmission and that i should stick with the honda oil to protect it. i know they are proble just trying to sell honda products but can anyone give me advise. i have always used mobil 1 in my car and am pleased with it but dont want to mess with my trans. any help would be appreciated since its time for my 2nd oil change

Understand Mobil 1 has a synthetic for wet clutch use if that is the concern. Others here are very informative on the technical side. Engine Oil

Not hard if you have power tools. I say that because the hex in the link rounded when i tried to do it by hand, so I hit the nut with my 3/8 air impact.
I removed the right wheel to get the bar out just cause that's where I was.

More crap showing up and no time to put it on.





Been thinking of rearranging inside the box, just carrying the helmets in the trailer and making more room. The length of the winch cables limit the placement of the power box so thinking of running them directly to the second battery under the seat, shorter run anyway. That'll allow me to move the power box wherever I want and make better use of the space. Should find something else to put in there, would hate to leave it half empty. Hmmm...

Use Honda oil, or an oil that meets exactly the requirements stated in the owners manual. Automotive synthetics do not meet the standards and do not have the additives needed for our relatively low tech engines. I have had the oil discussion ad nauseam with my Honda Rep, and have been told repeatedly that there is no better oil. It is tested per application for literally 1000's of hours. Honda's oils are designed specifically for the applications they are recommended for. So if you want to experiment with your $6000 engine- go ahead, but if it's under warranty, and the engine has a lubrication related failure... guess who's gonna pay for it! Try to use the Honda oil filters as well- it's one of the first questions we get asked if an engine fails under warranty. Just my 2 cents worth....

Just a Roto Pax can with water in it. Some guys were poking holes in a water bottle and squeezing it to spray down the radiator.

Sounds like a question for our in house oil specialists @joeymt33 or @KYhillbilly . If you change the oil at recommended intervals then the Honda oil is just fine. If you ever go too long, engine consistently running at high RPM's or get low oil level(all slightly abusing) then go with synthetic, IMO. I went with Royal Purple Max Cycle on the second service, I use RP in every engine I own.

Added the Tusk rear panel. Had to remove my gun racks and relocate my license plate. Also putting the underseat heat and sound barrier back in. For those with the rear panel, how is it in the summer? I really want it for dust, but not if we are going to burn up.

Put on new tires and wheels and then tried them out.

I have the tusk rear panel and cuts down the dust considerably. I don’t notice any extra heat with it on.
